A proposed U.S. tariff on Canadian imports threatens to push already rising hockey equipment prices even further, as much of the gear used by American players and teams is manufactured north of the border. The potential trade measure could disrupt supply chains and increase costs for consumers, clubs, and leagues already grappling with inflation. With Canada supplying a significant portion of hockey sticks, skates, and protective gear, the tariff could create shortages or force retailers to raise prices further. Industry experts warn the move could have broader economic ripple effects beyond the ice.
