Itech was an ice hockey equipment company founded by Robyn Burns.
History[]
Itech primarily produced goaltender equipment and player's equipment.
In 2004, Itech merged with Mission, a manufacturer of roller hockey equipment. Itech was founded by Robyn Burns and is currently owned by he and the Naegele family.
In 2005, certain Itech goalie mask models were recalled due to the wire face mask breaking at the weld points.[1]
In 2008 Bauer Hockey, once owned by Nike, said it had agreed to buy Mission-Itech Hockey.[2][3][4]

Bauer Hockey, sold by Nike earlier this year, said it had agreed to buy an equipment maker, Mission-Itech Hockey. Mission-Itech's facilities in Plattsburgh, N.Y., and Kirkland, Quebec, will remain open until May 31, 2009, after which both sites will be closed, affecting 140 employees, Bauer said. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. Nike sold its Bauer Hockey unit in February for $200 million to an investor group led by Kohlberg & Company and a Canadian businessman, W. Graeme Roustan.
