MONTREAL — Canadian hockey equipment manufacturer Bauer is offering to modify its production line to make protective visors for doctors, nurses and first responders.

The protective equipment to help deal with the COVID-19 pandemic would be produced at the company’s innovation centre in Blainville, Que., as well as its facility in Liverpool, NY.

Bauer’s vice-president of product innovation, Dan Bourgeois, said he’s received interest about the proposal from Montreal police, firefighters and hospitals.

"We say we’re a protective company … Then why aren’t we starting to (make) protection for our doctors, nurses, hospitals, and their needs?" Bourgeois said, adding the company will try to make 2,000 units daily.

I had major knee surgery in August and got all seasons of "24" to watch.

I had seen a couple snippets here and there.

I couldn't believe how horrible and absolutely unbelievable thw show was!

Glad I don't have cable or watch much tv at all.

Good idea. Especially since no one is playing hockey anywhere
