911.0. "Sporting Goods distributor in Ontario" by USOPS::AGIN () Tue Apr 11 1995 11:10

    
    Can anyone tell me the name of a fairly large sporting goods
    distributor in the Ontario area?  I'm trying to locate a friend
    who works for a distributor in this area.  Any help would be very
    much appreciated....name of company, location, phone #, etc.
    
    Thanks!
    Phyllis

	re-.1 Nice. re-.2 The big retail chains are Collegiate Sports and National Sports with several smaller mall chains (Lady Footlocker?). There's a few new ones. Ontario is big and these stores are spread over a wide area. You would have to narrow it down a bit. I'm not sure if are many wholesellers in the market (one is Norco=bikes and parts). Marshall
911.3	Thanks...it's a start!	USOPS::AGIN		`Tue Apr 11 1995 16:14`	10
	Thanks Marshall. I'm afraid I don't have much information to go on but you've given me a starting point. The last name of the person I am trying to locate sounds like Crew but it's probably not spelled like that. Is that a pretty common name in Canada? Could you give me a spelling of a name that would be close? If so, I might be able to track him down another way. Thanks again! Phyllis

	The names here are much the same as the US. In a memo a few weeks back I was called Marshall "Crew", but I never step foot in those expensive jock type places. You might try "Crewe", more of those than "Crew" in the Toronto phone book. Bear in mind, though there are 3 million people in many, many phone books just in the Toronto area alone.
911.5	A stroke of luck...	USOPS::AGIN		`Thu Apr 13 1995 11:09`	6
	Thanks again. I might have better luck than I had expected. Another friend from Ontario called Monday night but I was out. Said he would call back. This friend knows the person I'm trying to reach so hopefully my search will be alot easier than I had expected. I really appreciate you answering my requests. Will let you know how I make out and if I need help again. Have a great day Marshall!
911.6	well timed note eh!	KAOT01::R_HARPER	This space unavailable, Digital has it now	`Thu Apr 13 1995 17:15`	5
	I find it amusing that this basenote is calling out for assistance and the note number is 9-1-1. Must be a slow day. Where's that Dave Barry notesfile...
911.7	It sure fits!	USOPS::AGIN		`Fri Apr 14 1995 10:57`	7
	Oh, how observant! It is amusing...glad you pointed that out. I haven't heard back from my friend yet. It was Tuesday he called, not Monday, but I'm waiting patiently...for awhile anyway before I continue my search. I'm sure you found something worth reading in the Dave Barry notesfile! Enjoy those slow days...they don't come often!
