HockeyStickMan
Pro-level hockey equipment, since 2010
Who they are
HockeyStickMan
HockeyStickMan has been selling pro-level hockey equipment since 2010, built on a simple observation: the price of a good stick has very little to do with what it costs to make one, and a lot to do with what the market will bear.
That gap is exactly the gap that keeps children out of this sport. A full set of new equipment for a ten-year-old runs about seven hundred and fifty dollars, all in, and it has to be replaced as they grow.
What they do for Open Ice
Platinum PartnerWhat HockeyStickMan does for Open Ice
HockeyStickMan is a Platinum Partner and our equipment partner. They are the reason a camper walks out on the Friday carrying a full set that belongs to them: helmet, skates, stick, gloves, pads. Every one of those pieces is a piece a child gets to keep. Five hundred and seventy-six individual pieces of equipment have gone home with children this way, around $18,000 of gear at retail, and none of it comes back.

Thank you
Thank you, HockeyStickMan
Thank you. Not as a formality. Every hour of ice at a Toronto rink has a price, and every set of equipment a camper carries home has a price, and somebody pays both of those before a single child steps onto the ice. You did. There are children who have now played hockey who would not have, and there is no version of that sentence that does not have your name in it.
