Hockey Equipment

January 7, 2019

Hockey equipment is expensive! Especially when you’re talking Bauer, CCM, True, Warrior or any of the other major brands! (Not talking even about goalie equipment…Vaughn, Brians, or any other brand already mentioned). There are the exceptions and the need for all the features of the big brand’s top hockey equipment. However, if you’re a beer leaguer, a high school or college player on a budget, or looking to get the best bang for your buck, we have put together a list of some of the best brands geared towards everyone who isn’t in “the show”.

Hockey Sticks

  • Arsenal – The Beer League Tribune has dubbed it the eventual Bauer of Beer League. They have 2 stick lines right now (Envy and Covet) and are targeting the beer leaguer with high-quality sticks. We got to check out the Arsenal Envy and wrote a review. We get to try the Covet soon and will have another review in the near future.
  • Elevate – Literally reinventing how the hockey stick is perceived. The bent axis point allows for a harder more accurate shot! Check it out and get yours today! For more info, check out our feature on it here.
  • All Black – Says it in the name. Providing quality sticks for all different levels and can be seen at all different levels. From beer league to high school they have whatever league you’re in cover.
  • Alaska Twigs – A new stick company that offers a “ the most precise mid-kick” stick on the market.

  • Vikella – A Finnish Juinor and Youth stick company that offers appropriate flexes and an amplified kick point for the younger players.

  • Raven Hockey – a hockey stick company built for junior players. They offer a color coded system to help parents and kids know what stick is best for them (and in the future when it’s time for a new one). The flexes are designed specifically for the junior player.
