About Cyclone Taylor Source for Sports:
Cyclone Taylor Source for Sports (CTS) is Canada’s most established hockey equipment retailer opening our doors in Vancouver in 1957.
Fred “Cyclone” Taylor was one of hockey’s first superstars. In 1908, Lord Grey, the Governor General of Canada was so impressed with Fred’s skating ability he likened him to a ‘cyclone’ – the name stuck for the remainder of Fred’s hockey career. Cyclone Taylor played in four Stanley Cup Championships, one of which includes a win in 1915 with the Vancouver Millionaires.
CTS has four physical retail locations in the lower mainland (Vancouver, Richmond, Coquitlam, and Surrey), as well as a large eCommerce website that ships hockey, baseball/softball and lacrosse equipment to all corners of Canada. Knowledgeable staff and exceptional customer service, combined with a huge selection of products offered at the guaranteed lowest prices, have allowed CTS to become one of the largest and most respected hockey retailers in Western Canada.
