There is going to be a hole in the industry Monday morning.

Tom Doyle is retiring from NSGA and NSSRA after 40 years.

Tom Doyle has spent almost 40 years with the National Sporting Goods Association providing its members with the most understandable and solid research and analysis of what is happening in the sporting goods world. On top of that for 20 years he headed up the National Ski and Snowboard Retail Association. Research was not Tom’s only job, but it was the one I think that the most people would see his work.
Tom not only knew what was happening, he knew why. I never had a conversation with Tom, when I did not come away with new insight and understanding of the industry. Sometimes my head might be spinning, but Tom’s information always made sense and was based on solid analysis.

Tom is retiring and his last day is today, Friday October 29, 2010. Things are going to be different for all of us who looked forward to his emails giving us a run down on where things were going and why.

Thanks Tom!
