Micron produced Ice Hockey equipment in the 1980s and were based in Canada.

They were probably best known for their 'Mega' range of Ice skates and most notably the Micron Mega 10-90, Micron Mega 10-70 and Micron Mega 10-50.

They were a pioneer of their unique 'Power Clip' technology that claimed to give increased power to the skater. The 'Power Clip' was a White plastic square attached to the sole of the boot on the inside of the foot and had the 1st 3 lace holes of the boot in it.

The design of the boots made the skater lean forward slightly when skating which meant they were ideal skates for balancing weight when skating backwards. This proved popular with Ice hockey players that played defence.

While Micron proved a popular skate they were eventually purchased by the Bauer corporation in 1994.
