That Albert commercial was so brilliantly done and resonated with little brothers and sub par hockey players every where.
Sure you buy this Canadian Tire gear and you'll be a great player.
I remember every year or two, in August the old man and me would pile into the car and go to Canadian Tire to get me new gear. We would have these amazing arguments.
"These skates are perfectly good, why do I need to pay $100.00 bucks for fricken skates"
"You don't need those $12.00 sticks, when we can get a bundle of these Eastons for $5.00 bucks each, its not like you're going to be scoring a lot of goals from the penalty box."
Looking at those shoulder pads in that ad compared to what kids wear now is amazing though.
