Birthplace of the NHL
Created by M. J. O'Brien and his son Ambrose, the Renfrew Millionaires (originally called the Renfrew Creamery Kings) were a professional hockey team that attracted national attention to the small timber town of Renfrew, Ontario.
The O'Brien's created the National Hockey Association (NHA), after being rejected entry to the Canadian Hockey Association (CHA). The NHA consisted of the Renfrew Creamery Kings which became the Renfrew Millionaires, Cobalt, Haileybury and Les Canadiens of Montreal. Within a month, the Montreal Wanderers also joined to become the fifth team.
The NHA formed the foundation of today's National Hockey League. Hockey fans everywhere owe their love of today's game, and League, to the hard work and dreams of M.J. and Ambrose O'Brien.

History of Renfrew
Since Renfrew Hockey tape’s inception in 1980, hockey has come from all-wood, to metal, and now to composite one piece hockey sticks. Each new development has brought changes to the performance expectations of hockey tape.
Throughout this evolution, Renfrew Hockey continues to develop its products so that every roll of hockey tape optimises performance, regardless of the type of hockey stick you use.
