How excessive tinkering one piece of equipment led to Linus Ullmark's success

''Bauer and CCM have a very different approach to how they make their gloves,'' said Ullmark, pausing and sighing as he recalled the process. ''Basically, I made a new glove together with them. That's what we had to do. Because it was such an abomination compared to what they had in stock and what they made. So we swapped out most of the things and created a new thing.''

''Strapping options. Angle of how it closes. The T-pocket. Everything. Everything is different. The inside. The padding of the actual glove was a lot of tinkering, swap out things, change places.''
