Unreferenced date March 2009 Sports Experts is a major Canada Canadian sports retailer Franchising franchise primarily located in Quebec , and part of the Forzani Group . Sports Experts was independently founded in 1967, but purchased by Provigo in 1981.

The combined company took on the name Sports Experts Inc and the Arlington locations were converted into the Sports Experts banner. In 1994, Provigo sold Sports Experts to the Forzani Group. The bankruptcy of Eaton s in 1999 and the abandonment of shopping malls by supermarket chain s in the early 2000s gave the opportunity for Sports Experts to move many of its stores to larger mall spaces and to introduce Atmosphere , its sub banner which specializes in outdoor sports clothing. Sports Experts currently has 71 stores nationwide, 62 of which are in the province of Quebec.

In sports broadcasting , a sports analyst provides expert discussion of sports related topics before, during or after a sporting event. Sports analysts are frequently former athletes who participated in the sport being analyzed. A sports analyst is different from a sports commentator in that sports commentators provide a running commentary regarding a sporting event while the event is taking place, whereas sports analysts usually provide commentary about sporting events which have yet to take place or which have already concluded. The job of the color commentator is a hybrid of the two styles, providing expert analysis of a sporting event while the sporting event is taking place.
