Canada Post is going to issue a stamp with a 1908 CCM motor cycle on it. They were looking for additional info and I directed them to Dave (Brown) and Ron (Miller). Hopefully they've followed-up on this.

Reebok is currently setting up a display of historical CCM items at their company headquarters in Montreal. if anyone has any vintage CCM hockey equipment or memorabilia to sell, let me know and I'll forward you their contact.

I agree Alan. For far too long we Canadians have either felt our history to be inferior or were afraid to celebrate it for fear of being accused of bragging. Hopefully that's changing.

i couldn't agree more, the Americans have their Schwinn's and other popular/ historical bicycle manufacturer's.  It's about time we had a sense of pride for what Canadian's brought to the table and had other facets of media recognize this too.

Have not heard from Canada Post.   Hopefully they will contact either Dave or Myself. I would be glad to help if I can.   Ron.
