About Us

Competitive hockey is in desperate need of innovation. Stick technology hasn’t seen a major development since the introduction of the carbon graphite shaft over ten years ago. Stick quality and customer service have taken a plunge, with all the major brands outsourcing manufacturing to Mexico and China. 

Welcome to ElevenHockey.com, an exciting young company focused on bringing back good, old fashioned North American stick manufacturing. We pride ourselves bringing the majority of our product lines and processes in the US and Canada, enabling us to maintain the highest standards of quality control and customer service. Ultimately, it translates into the ability to produce a better stick and provide a better experience. We think you’ll agree, or your money back. To learn more about our company, feel free to scroll down the page. We’d be more than happy to answer any questions you may have.

 

About Eleven Hockey

Who are you guys?

Eleven Hockey was founded in 2010 in the frigid tundra of northern Minnesota. Our mission is simple: to restore the spirit of creativity and pride to hockey. To accomplish this, we augment our products with a variety of innovative new technologies and employ superior manufacturing techniques perfected over 100 years, drawing on the experience of our friends at Christian Brothers, Northland Hockey, and Bending Branches. 
 
True to our vision, we released the Pro Classic in 2011, heralded as the “best wood stick in 10 years.” This inspired new stick features a special fiberglass reinforcement system and superior glue technology to create significant gains in overall tested strength and longevity based on user testing and reviews. 
 
These technological enhancements are just the first in a line of many promising innovations, including an advanced resin system designed to improve the longevity and responsiveness of stick blades, a dual-kickpoint shaft for our wood line, and a protective Kevlar weave to make indestructible gloves.


Where are you located?

Eleven Hockey is based out of Warroad, “Hockey Town USA,” Minnesota. With fewer than 3,000 inhabitants, this tiny town boasts one of the highest outputs of professional players per capita in the United States, with hundreds of athletes moving on to play collegiate, professional, and even Olympic-calibre hockey. 
 
This rustic setting is surprisingly ideal for a hockey manufacturer, offering a unique blend of high calibre athletics, the serene environment custom tailored for research and experimentation, and a strong hockey tradition to fuel testing and feedback. An added bonus is the area’s hockey legacy. It’s home to the Christian Brothers, Henry Boucha, and dozens of other top-tier athletes, including most recently Gigi Marvin and T. J. Oshie.

 

About Our Products

What does Eleven Hockey sell

We are in the process of expanding our product line. Eleven currently offers the best wood sticks on the market and is looking to add foam-core goalie sticks and composite sticks (including top-of-the-line carbon fiber and our new E-fiber composite). In the future, you can look for additional products, such as Kevlar enhanced protective equipment and other technologically advanced athletic gear.


Where are your sticks made?

In order to ensure the best overall customer experience, we focus on using quality manufacturing techniques and due diligence to produce premium products at the lowest prices. To accomplish this goal, we occasionally are required to source raw materials and assembly from across the world. All the design, testing, manufacturing and/or finishing techniques take place in our local factories. The breakdown of our products is as follows...

Wood Sticks
Premium, pre-cut lumber comes from Canada. All manufacturing and assembly is completed in the USA.

Carbon Fiber
Source early stage manufacturing from China. Sticks are then completed in the USA, including all design customization and product enhancements.

E-Fiber
All materials and production are 100% made in the USA.

Foam Core Goalie
Purchased as component parts from Canada. Assembly and finish, including sanding, painting, custom graphics, and product packaging, are completed in the USA.


Do you have your own factory?

Yes. Eleven Hockey owns both composite and wood manufacturing facilities. We also have access to the equipment and wood processing techniques perfected by the team at Christian Brothers Hockey, and a custom composite research and manufacturing facility.


What’s so special about your wood sticks?

In short, the wood stick lines are hand crafted in the USA, using the equipment and processes perfected over 100 years by our friends at Christian Brothers, Northland Hockey, and Bending Branches. Our local manufacturing ensures the highest level of quality control and significantly reduces the inflated cost and time delay associated with overseas shipping. 
 
Each stick is constructed from hand selected hardwoods. During assembly, we augment these sticks using an advanced glue technology designed to prevent moisture damage, thereby extending the stick’s play life. In addition, Eleven sticks forgo ABS blades in our premium product lines, favoring wood blades with a Kevlar-enhanced sock to increase overall strength and longevity. Best of all, even with these significant advances in quality and playlife, the wood stick line is lighter than comparable sticks from other manufacturers.

 

About Our Custom Options

 

What colors/designs do you offer?

Our standard colors are black, white, red, blue, and clear (natural wood tones). We also offer custom vinyl wraps ($19.99 per stick) and custom screen prints ($99.99 one-time setup fee). For larger orders (50 stick minimum), we can use a near infinite range of custom colors and designs, within reason of course (i.e. no rainbow striping or camo).


What patterns do your blades come in?

Most people are familiar with the Christian Brother’s patterns. We can do those. Custom patterns are OK too (covered in the section below). Right now, the most popular patterns are:

#1 - similar to the Easton P4 Forsberg
 Features a mid-heel curve, slight (3/8”) depth, slightly open face, lie 5.0, round toe, and medium length.

#5 - comparable to the Easton P7 Iginla
 Boasts a mid curve, slight (3/8”) depth, closed face, lie 5.0, round toe, and short length.

#6 - like the Easton P3 Sakic
 Enjoys a mid curve, moderate (1/2”) depth, slightly open face, lie 5.5, round toe, and medium length.
