Journey So Far

 

How It All Started

It all began as a frustrated hockey player. Every bag on the market was either overpriced, poorly designed, or fell apart after a season. So, I set out to create something better—a bag built for hockey players and families like ours.

I invested $10,000 of my own money—hard-earned savings—to make it happen. I got samples made by 10 different factories before nailing down the perfect one. traveled to the factory, inspecting materials and processes firsthand to ensure every bag could stand up to the grind of hockey life.

When the first batch arrived, I thought we’d hit the jackpot. But reality hit hard: no one was buying. It was tough. But I stuck through it, getting loans and credit lines where I could. Every dollar we made went right back into the business—advertising, refining the product, making sure it was the absolute best.

Through sheer determination (and maybe a bit of stubbornness), we gained traction. Parents started noticing the quality and thoughtful design, and word began to spread. Thank you to every single one of you in the hockey community who has vouched for our bags, talked about it with your teammates, or left a review - you are the real all stars.  Now, every time I see a kid walking into the rink with one of our bags, I’m reminded why I took that risk.

It’s been a rollercoaster, but at its heart, this brand is about making hockey better for families who love the game as much as we do.

Just before having our first born Stanley (yep we named him after a cup), we moved into a house which gave me more space to store inventory and pack orders!
