A proposed U.S. tariff on Canadian imports threatens to push already rising hockey equipment prices even further, raising concerns for players, teams, and fans. Much of the gear used in the sport is manufactured in Canada, meaning higher tariffs could lead to increased costs across the board. Industry experts warn that the move may disproportionately affect amateur and youth leagues, where budgets are tighter. The potential economic ripple effects extend beyond the ice, with broader implications for trade relations between the two countries.
