Sher-Wood Hockey Inc. announced that it has purchased  the inventory, receivables and certain manufacturing  assets relating to Inglasco Ltd., a Sherbrooke, PQ based producer and distributor of hockey related novelty products as well as NHL and CFL licensed merchandise.  The company had sought protection from its creditors on July 17, 2008.

“We are very excited by this opportunity to increase our portfolio as a key supplier of hockey related sports products,” said Dean Topolinski, chairman of Sher-Wood Hockey Inc.  “Our goal is to leverage these assets with our existing Sher-Wood capabilities to become the supplier of first choice for both licensed NHL  products as well as our extensive line of hockey sticks and protective gear.”

Ralph Trott, president and CEO of Sherwood Hockey Inc., said “This group of assets provides significant increased revenue through our cost structure; and that will improve profitability as we gain momentum in the market.  It also creates greater marketing opportunity for the Sher-Wood and SWD Hockey brands given the complementary distribution channels the products share.”
