What we’re building

The hockey experience we wish existed.

We’re not inventing a mission and then trying to figure out how to fulfill it. We’re discovering the mission in the things we’re already doing.

How it started

One of us wanted sharp skates, and our rink doesn’t sharpen them. So he got a sharpener. Then a van.

One of us wanted to play more, and found out how hard it is to find a team. So he started calling people who’d said they wanted to play, and helped build teams out of a spreadsheet.

Then came rosters, goalies, subs, line combos, logos, jerseys, lessons, and a ridiculous hockey game starring the people we skate with. All of it spread across apps, group texts and spreadsheets. This is where we’re putting it together, and inviting you in: first-timers, lifers, goalies, parents and kids.

What we’re about

Hockey is for everyone.Who it’s for. Any age, any level, first skate or fortieth season.
Everything’s better with Best Friend energy.How we play: hard, never dirty, and always looking out for each other.
We’re building the hockey experience we wish existed.What we do: the things we wanted as players, then shared.
