Cooper
For 1987, Cooper introduces two new top end skate lines, the Superlight 100 and Superlight 102 (Superlight 100 has ballistic nylon quarters, while the 102 has leather quarters). Cooper Superlight Skates combine light weight with the unique “Tuff Tongue,” a superior protection and support system for the serious hockey player. The all new “Tuff Tongue” consists of high density layers of foam, overlapped with the famous Cooper “Tuff Stuff” material. The “Tuff Tongue” was introduced in response to consumer problems of skate lace bite, tongue twisting and protection. It also provides extra support where it is needed, along the area of the skate boot laces, where skate boot breakdown starts. Cooper skates are the best performing skate—like an extension to your foot. Consumers buy Cooper Skates because of: 1) Better control/responsive-ness in a hand-crafted special…
1987 SUMMER HOCKEY SCHOOL & EQUIPMENT GUIDE
KLAXON Dear Klaxon: Congratulations on the finished version of your goaltender throat protector. Your hard work and persistence have resulted in an excellent protective product. Grant Fuhr has been extremely pleased with the “live hinge” feature, which aids the wearing and protection factor considerably.

We feel the added time it took to perfect this model will only reflect in positive responses from other National Hockey League goalies.

Bakovic Shows He Deserves A Chance To Prove Himself
MONCTON, N.B.—File the name Peter Bakovic under “Promising Prospects You’ve Never Heard Of.” Soon you will have, since the Moncton Golden Flames’ rugged right winger is steadily making his way into the “Promising Prospects Ready For an Opportunity” category. Slowly, physically and with increasing fanfare, Bakovic has emerged as one of the better players in the American League. It’s quite an accomplishment for a guy who was never drafted for either major junior or professional hockey. “He’s the kind of guy,” Moncton coach Terry Crisp said, “who restores your faith in your 23- and 24-year-olds who sometimes don’t mature, or don’t get a crack at it. All of a sudden they’re there. People say, ‘Where has be been? What’s he been doing? Who missed him? Why haven’t we heard of him?’ “ The answers,…
