Roustan Sports Acquires Grey Owl Paddles

Roustan Sports LTD (owners of many hockey related businesses) has acquired Grey Owl Paddles of Cambridge, Ont., Canada’s top producer of wooden paddles for the canoe, kayak and dragon boat market. Roustan Sports are experts in wood-produced products including various Roustan Hockey stick brands (available at STIX.com) and Grey Owl’s custom machinery and manufacturing equipment has been relocated to Roustan Sports’ 130,000-square-foot mega-factory in Brantford, Ontario.

Grey Owl Paddles is a Canadian legacy brand and I am immensely proud to continue as a steward for that legacy. “Brian’s lifelong commitment to competitive and recreational canoeing and kayaking will continue to be honoured, as each magnificent Grey Owl product is created and sold.

— W. Graeme Roustan, executive chairman of Roustan Sports Ltd

Founded in 1975 by avid canoeist Brian Dorfman, Grey Owl Paddles annually produces over 50,000 paddles with distribution throughout North America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia. Next year will mark Grey Owl Paddles’ 50th Anniversary.

In this 50th anniversary year, I want to thank Roustan Sports for securing Grey Owl’s future. The brand remains strong for future generations to enjoy.

— Brian Dorfman
