SASKATOON — Smudge the Blades clothing was inspired by Indigenous hockey tournaments, says company founder Harlan Kingfisher.
He started the company last fall and now he’s pleased to see hockey fans and even some Olympic and NHL stars sporting the gear.
“Just from playing hockey in these Native tournaments I knew that there would be a market out there to launch a ‘funny saying’ line for hockey,” says Kingfisher.
While growing up on Sturgeon Lake First Nation, Kingfisher played in many First Nations hockey tournaments before getting selected to play junior and college hockey.
