About Cyclone Taylor Sports:
Cyclone Taylor Sports (CTS) is Canada’s most established hockey equipment retailer opening our doors in Vancouver over 64 years ago, in 1957.
Fred “Cyclone” Taylor was one of hockey’s first superstars. In 1908, Lord Grey, the Governor General of Canada was so impressed with Fred’s skating ability he likened him to a ‘cyclone’ – the name stuck for the remainder of Fred’s hockey career. Cyclone Taylor played in four Stanley Cup Championships, one of which includes a win in 1915 with the Vancouver Millionaires.
CTS has four physical retail locations in the lower mainland (Vancouver, Richmond, Coquitlam, and Surrey), as well as a large eCommerce website that ships hockey and lacrosse equipment to all corners of the globe.
