I thought about safety, security and performance and became excited about the notion that hockey players out there would perform so much better if they knew and felt they were better protected. It was incredible to me that in such a high contact sport, where players wear razor sharp blades attached to their feet, that they did not have better overall protection.
I discovered that lacerations are in fact the leading cause of injuries in ice hockey and that there are very few choices for players in the realm of cut-resistant apparel. I went home that night in shock and quickly thereafter began researching the subject and injury statistics in greater detail. As a trainer, I knew we were not equipped, nor trained, to apply a tourniquet to minimize blood loss. If that artery were lacerated, it would have taken a mere five minutes, ( exactly 300 seconds) for all the blood in his body to drain. Within the first minutes of play I watched in terror as I saw a young player fall to his knees on the ice and not even a second later an opposing players’ skate spun around cutting the child’s inner thigh between his shin-pad and hockey pant, and missing his femoral artery by less than an inch. One day after my child’s game, we stayed around the arena to watch a friend of the family play in the following game. We design and develop elite level athletic performance apparel that arms you with the peace of mind and protection that ensures your talent surfaces to the top.Īs a parent and as a volunteer hockey trainer on my child’s hockey team in 2011, I witnessed an event on the ice that propelled me into the creation of a product that all hockey players, coaches, and officials could wear to help protect themselves from potentially catastrophic injuries. Until now, this performance often came at the expense of protection.ĭAREDEVIL HOCKEY = performance + protection. Science has proven that compression and advanced moisture-wicking enhances performance. It is this same passion that drives us to become the best. A one day contract, that they renew day in and day out with unrelenting tenacity. Great athletes demand the best of themselves at all times.
