Cyclone Taylor Sports was established in 1957, and we would like to thank you for taking an interest in our website. For those of you not familiar with Cyclone Taylor Sports, please allow us to briefly introduce ourselves.
Fred "Cyclone" Taylor Sr. was one of professional hockey's first superstars. While Fred was playing for the Ottawa Senators in 1907, Canada's Governor General was so impressed with his incredible Speed that he coined the name of Cyclone, and it stayed with him the rest of his life. Cyclone Taylor played in 4 Stanley Cup series during his 18 years of professional hockey. He won the cup in 1909 with Ottawa and in 1915 with the Vancouver Millionaires. The other two series Cyclone played in with the Vancouver Millionaires they lost to Toronto in 1918 and to Ottawa in 1921. Cyclone passed away in 1979 at the age of 94.
Cyclone's eldest son, Fred, started Cyclone Taylor Sports in 1957 and today with the help of his sons and daughter, the operation has grown to be western Canada's largest independent retailer. Cyclone's is also a favorite tourist stop for our out of town guests, so on your next trip to beautiful Vancouver please drop in and say hello. A staff of 28, which includes ex-professionals, coaches and highly skilled athletes, are prepared to help you whether it be hockey, inline or figure skating.
