Mission Hockey: Hockey Ice and Roller Skates and other Equipment

Hockey is one of North America’s favorite pastimes. Roller hockey is paving the way as the next big sport while ice hockey has been a big business for several years. There are currently thirty NHL hockey leagues, five teams in Canada and 25 in America, as well as countless AAA hockey teams including Mission Hockey League in Chicago. Hockey is a contact sport that relies on speed, agility, strength and accuracy which is why it appeals to many young boys around the world.
Mission Hockey is a leading name in both ice hockey and roller hockey equipment. It produces hockey skates and sponsored several roller hockey tournaments, which has brought Mission a lot of success in the hockey world. Mission merged with Canada’s Itech in 2004 and now is run by Bauer, the most famous name in the world of hockey.
Mission Hockey is very big on sponsorship and has around 250 National Hockey League Players under their sponsorship name. The players play on several different hockey teams including Hatcher from the Flyers, Bertuzzi from the Flames, Kessel from the Bruins and Leopold from the Avalanche.
Mission Hockey Roller, Inline and Ice Skates
Mission first began their quest into the hockey world with high-lo technology inline skates. They used different sized wheels in the front and the back to be able to turn better and skate faster. They soon went into the ice hockey world as well and are now considered one of the leading companies in both hockey sectors. Mission hockey skates are available for the professionals and the amateurs with many local hockey players choosing to equip themselves with Mission gear.
Mission Sticks and Gloves for Hockey
Mission does not only make skates. Their range is quite extensive. The Mission helmet is a common appearance on the ice with 170 NHL players using Mission helmets. Several on-ice officials also use Mission helmets to protect their heads during the contact sport. The popular helmets use EPP foam for protection and molded gel as a comfort liner. It uses several vents to create vitalization which helps keep the players as cool as possible on the ice. Mission also makes gloves, another popular item and is the company to create the three finger glove which was supposed to give a better grip on the hockey stick than the traditional five finger glove. Many hockey players chose the three finger technology to the traditional types. However, Mission makes both types of gloves.
