Restore HockeyRestore Hockey is a movement. It is a belief. It is a culture founded on the principle that “to whom much is given, much is expected.” They focus on access. They focus on opportunity. They strive to improve the communities they reside in and they strive to leave the sport of hockey better than they found it.
As a division of Restore Sports, Inc, a recognized 501(c)(3) charitable organization, their non-profit mission is to promote the sport of hockey in a manner that embraces access, opportunity and affordability, while giving new life to the equipment that has helped build its foundation. They act as an agent of hockey through the recovery, restoration and sanitization of used equipment, so that it can be used as a low-cost, reusable resource in promotion of the game. Whether your first memory of hockey was of a local pond or a rink down the street, the essence of our sport remains the sa me…passion. Hockey is a sport that transcends generations and unites its members in a bond that remains constant throughout life’s endeavors. Whether it is the smell of the locker room, the grind of your first stride, or a puck passing the goal line in overtime, the legacy of our sport can inspire. It is this inspiration that prompted the creation of Restore Hockey and it is our goal to honor this institution for generations to come. Website/Facebook |

Hip Hockey MomShe’s all hockey mom, all the time. She looks great, even when she’s freezing and exhausted carrying heavy, smelly equipment bags to-and-from tournaments. She’s mythical and ninja-like in her ability to coordinate schedules and organize details. Underneath that full-length, down-quilted, fur-trimmed hooded sleeping-bag-coat (she wears to stay warm) is a fabulous-looking encyclopedia of hockey family information.
