NHL gear in the 1980s
135 NHL players have sourced gear records from the 1980s (1980-81 to 1989-90), 491 records in all. Sher-Wood is the stick brand on record for the most players (48). 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.
