A Legendary name deserves a legendary introduction! Second String was extremely honored when the Lefebvre family reached out to us in 2021 to have a variety of leather goods made for friends and family members for the holidays. The pieces were constructed from a pair of original Lefebvre goalie pads from the early 80’s. The pieces came out incredible and we hope that these pieces will continue to carry on the families love and passion for the game of hockey for decades to come. Thank you again to Patrick, Veronic and Michel for allowing us to be apart of this special project for you and your loved ones!
