DALLAS — The new Reebok sweaters, pants and socks unveiled on Monday by the National Hockey League are supposed to make today’s players skate faster — although that remains to be seen with Hal Gill.
The claim, after wind-tunnel testing at MIT in Boston, is that there’s nine per cent less drag than with the league’s current billowy jerseys, which are anything but form-fitting.
“It’ll be like going from a Ford to a Ferrari … they’ll still be in a car, but it’ll be sleeker,” says Matt O’Toole, the president of Reebok-CCM Hockey.
What can you say about Canada and professional Sports? The biggest game in any town is hockey. And that means continual technological change in equipment, skates, sticks and now new wind tunnel tested materials which have less wind drag on them. Will the players soon be wearing F1 spoilers on their helmets? Stay tuned !
