Convention Comes to a Close, and Dan Blackburn on Off The Record

Saturday was the last day of RM Convention, which was spent at GDI Headquarters. The RMs talked about the newly updated style of gear, which will be at retailers by the end of the month. GDI is able to stay current with all new gear trends and has been a leader in creating new techniques to help stop more pucks, thanks to Vice President and gear designer, Dave Agatone.

Here is a sneak peak of the new gear design:


GDI Apparel is also up for a face lift, and we would love any of your suggestions for specific products you need and would like to have GDI supply. Current options include workout apparel, and if you would be interested in using GDI branded clothing during your gym workouts, let us know.

The RMs spent their last night in Dallas dining at the Brazilian Steakhouse, Texas de Brazil, where waitors bring around endless slabs of meat and you simply flip a card next to your plate to red (stop serving) or green (more meat please!). It's unclear whether the GDI guys ever used the red side.

Lastly, GDI President Dan Blackburn flies to Toronto later today and will be appearing on TSN's Off the Record with Michael Landsberg both Thursday and Friday evenings. Check your local listing for confirmation, but Off the Record generally is broadcasted Monday-Friday at 6pmET. For those of you in the US who do not have access to TSN, a video will be posted after the show so you can still be up on your current hockey news.
