Padda Sports acquires the Jerrand Ringette Girdle Product Line

Ottawa, ON, - Padda Sports, an Ottawa based company, has purchased the Jerrand Sports Ringette Girdle product line, the only All-Canadian produced product of it's kind.

Designed in Ottawa for the Canadian invented sport of ringette, the Jerrand girdle was first marketed in 1998, where it has since captured a significant portion of the Canadian market. Working hand in hand with Ringette players, chiropractic and design consultants this padded stretch short has been designed as a premium protective garment for women and girls of all ages, providing one of the highest levels of protection and comfort available today.

As an All-Canadian product, materials are purchased from Canadian textile firms and suppliers, while production is split between Ottawa and Regina. In Regina, the garment is assembled and distributed by the Saskatchewan Abilities Council, an organization dedicated to providing programs and work opportunities to people with disabilities.

Padda Sports currently specializes in protective sports apparel.

Padda is enthusiastic about this product and looks forward to expanding production and availability of this product for ringette as well as other sports.
