NHL gear in the 1950s
39 NHL players have sourced gear records from the 1950s (1950-51 to 1959-60), 85 records in all. CCM is the stick brand on record for the most players (24). Shares count players, not items. The records are what survives in auctions, pro-stock listings and setup logs, so they are a sample of the decade, not a census.
