Jofa - Hockey

Hockey

The first step towards their most successful product was taken in 1963, when they started making hockey helmets. They have also manufactured other ice hockey equipment, such as ice skates and hockey sticks. Known NHL players using Jofa helmets include such stars as Wayne Gretzky, Jaromír Jágr, Mario Lemieux, Marty McSorley, Claude Lemieux, Mats Sundin, Mats Näslund, Peter Forsberg and Teemu Selänne.

Since 2004, Jofa is a part of Reebok. Reebok has phased out the use of the Jofa brand on its hockey equipment, in favour of its core CCM and Rbk brands. The Rbk brand, has subsequently been changed to Reebok Hockey.

Despite not producing hockey equipment since the 2004 Reebok buyout, Teemu Selänne is the only player in the NHL that currently wears a Jofa helmet: a Jofa 366 with the Jofa logo blacked-out due to an expired licensing agreement with the NHL.
