Alaskan roots. Pre Y2K roots.

I’m Chris, founder of this hockey business rooted in a love for outdoor and throwback hockey. As Alaskans, our little team grew up embracing the raw, unpolished side of the game — from backyard rinks to frozen ponds — and I wanted to share that passion with others who love hockey at its core.

Our focus is on bringing back the classic, throwback feel of the game, offering gear, apparel, and accessories that capture that old-school spirit. Our products will always pay homage to hockey history, with every item reflecting a nod to the roots of the game. Whether you’re reliving your backyard hockey days or appreciating the rich history of the sport, we’re here to celebrate hockey’s roots and its timeless appeal for fans who truly understand the game’s heart.
