An iconic hockey brand returns to the NHL

UPDATE: They're back!

Former equipment manufacturer TPS Hockey has announced their return!

TPS Hockey, owned by by the famed baseball bat manufacturer Louisville (Slugger, anyone?), is returning and they teased their famed TPS Response line of discs on social media today.

Check it out:

TPS was at the forefront of grippy, rubber composite player and goalie sticks in the 2000s and 2010s, so you have to imagine that they're going to lean into that with their new offerings.

Speaking as a goaltender, TPS always had top notch goalie gear also. Henrik Lundqvist was a major supporter of the brand and wore TPS pads and gloves exclusively when they were available.

Stay tuned for Friday's announcement from TPS on social media.
