The original CCM company produced hockey equipment and bicycles,
and went bankrupt in 1983. The hockey division was sold to a
Montreal businessman, and the CCM name continued to be used for
hockey equipment. The company incorporated in 1991 and took the
name SLM International Inc., and in 1999, they were renamed The
Hockey Company. In 2004, they were bought by Reebok, who continued
to use the CCM brand.
