Bauer Hockey is one of the leading manufacturers of hockey equipment, fitness and recreational skates. The hockey equipment that Bauer produces include: helmets, gloves, sticks, skates, shinguards, pants, shoulder pads, elbow pads, as well as goalie equipment. In 1995, Canstar, the parent company of Bauer became a wholly owned subsidiary of Nike, Inc. In 2006, the release of the Nike Bauer Supreme One90 showed for the first time, the new brand name Nike Bauer on the one product. This was also the first time Nike has ever had a joint brand name on a product. The company has since used the Nike Bauer name on all of its hockey-related products.

The company was sold to investors Roustan, Inc. and Kohlberg & Co., on February 21, 2008. The company will once again be known as Bauer Hockey, though Bauer will continue to use the Nike Bauer trademark on existing products for up to two years.http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/news_story/?ID=230199&hubname=nhl
