Bauer Hockey

Niklas Kronwall using stick, gloves, and pants by Bauer.

Bauer Hockey is a household name for people that know and play the game.  Nike bought Bauer in 1995 for $430 million and then sold it to a group of investors from Canada for about $200 million back in 2008.  Bauer now includes brands such as, Vapor which is mostly known for their skates and sticks, Supreme, Flexlite, Re-Flex and then later in 2008 they bought up rivals Mission-ITECH.  They also have a Lacrosse company named Maverik.  Bauer plans on entering the stock market which means it will be offering IPO's (initial public offerings).  The process is still under review so prices for individual stock have not been determined.
