CCM Hockey has taken another step to help protect front-line health care workers in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic, announcing Monday that it is producing protective hoods for Quebec's medical personnel.

that it is ready to produce 150 new protective hoods a day to serve Quebec’s medical personnel.

“We are deploying our culture of innovation and craft, which normally protects the world’s best hockey players doing battle on the ice, for a new purpose: protecting our health care workers on the front lines of the most important battle of our time,” said Rick Blackshaw, CEO of CCM Hockey, in a press release.

The announcement comes a week after CCM said it was donating 500,000 surgical masks to front-line medical personnel. Fellow hockey-gear manufacturers such as Bauer, Vaughn and New Balance — the parent company of Warrior — have also stepped up amid the widespread shortage of personal protective equipment.
