Our Story

At HockeyStickMan, hockey isn’t just a game — it’s in our blood. We’re a small-town family that grew up on a farm with a homemade rink in the front yard. From frozen mornings lacing up skates to late-night practices, the sport has shaped our lives in every way.


Our family brings decades of experience from all corners of the game. Peter has spent years as a trainer, coach, and minor hockey president. Joey played rep and junior hockey, holds a Sport Management degree, and has worked with Hockey Canada, the Vancouver Canucks, and the Vancouver Olympic Committee. Ashley grew up playing, Nick took his game all the way through NCAA and into the pros, and Dustin followed a similar path — drafted by the Montreal Canadiens and now working in the NHL.


We’ve been incredibly fortunate to have hockey give so much back to us. But we also know firsthand how tough it can be. Growing up, hockey was expensive — and if it weren’t for a hardworking father and a mother who lived at the rink, we might not have had the chance. Truthfully, if we were kids today, we probably couldn’t afford competitive hockey.


That’s why we started HockeyStickMan — to make high-quality gear more affordable and accessible for players and families across North America. We're here to give back to the game that gave us everything.

Built by Family, Driven by Passion

Our Solution

In December 2010 we started Walshy Stick Repair as a way to give people lower priced options on good quality sticks. We would utilize the many connections we had built throughout the game to source top end sticks, repair them using a proven method, and make them available to amateur and recreational level players in our community. Since inception, we have built HockeyStickMan Inc. into one of the largest online hockey stores in North America, and continue to grow simply based on word of mouth! We now offer the following:

Latest Model Pro Stock Sticks - Each season we source thousands of extra top end pro sticks directly from the teams (Brand new / never used). 

Hard to find Pro Stock Sticks- We are also able to source older model sticks that are no longer for sale in stores.  Not only are we the only place you can find these sticks but we also have them at lower prices.

ProBlackout Sticks - One of the best deals that we have going is blacked out pro stock sticks.  Your getting a brand new top of the line composite stick for a fraction of its retail price. 

Refurbished Sticks - Our refurbished customers not only keep coming back but they continue to refer people to us, we have now completed over 10,000 and we firmly believe they remain one of the best buys for a quality product in all hockey. 

Great Gear, Honest Prices

We continue to operate with the same principals in mind that made us successful from day 1. Keep operating costs to a minimum, do away with fancy storefronts, and manage our website is in house. We foster and cultivate relationships with the top Pro, Junior, and NCAA teams, to get top quality gear at amazing prices, and pass those savings onto you. We simply put our products out there at our best possible price and rely on word of mouth, which in the hockey world, is everything! 


Our Mission.....To provide amateur and recreational level players with top end sticks at unbeatable prices...Mission Accomplished. 

Paying it Forward

We love hosting our community, showing off cool gear, and meeting those who have supported us from the very beginning!

Giving Back to the Community

The game of hockey has given so much to all of us in our lives. We strive to give back every chance we get. Starting with our mission of providing the best gear at the best prices, but moving past this to supporting various teams and organizations with donations and support wherever we can.


HockeyStickMan has also started our own charitable program Stick4Kids. This program puts $5 from every purchase of our qualifying HSM branded apparel towards getting sticks and hockey gear into the hands of kids that need it most.
Hockey teaches countless valuable life lessons — teamwork, resilience, discipline, and respect. We believe every young person who wants to play should have the opportunity to experience the game and grow through the same lessons it taught us.
