Daredevil Hockey was born from a desire to inspire and foster greatness in every athlete. Developed for Men and Women, and now available in Youth sizes for Girls and Boys.

Great athletes demand the best of themselves at all times. Every shift is a tryout. A one day contract, that they renew day in and day out with unrelenting tenacity. It is this same passion that drives us to become the best.

Science has proven that compression and advanced moisture-wicking enhances performance. Until now, this performance often came at the expense of protection. 

DAREDEVIL HOCKEY = performance + protection. 

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.

Our Story             

As 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. 

One day after my child’s game, we stayed around the arena to watch a friend of the family play in the following game. 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. 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. As a trainer, I knew we were not equipped, nor trained, to apply a tourniquet to minimize blood loss. I went home that night in shock and quickly thereafter began researching the subject and injury statistics in greater detail. 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. 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 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 is from this experience, as a parent and as a hockey trainer, witnessing a potentially fatal accident, that Daredevil Hockey was born.

Our mission is to ensure that all who play hockey – play protected by mitigating career and life-threatening laceration injuries by wearing our apparel – balancing performance + protection.

 PROTECTION:

Mitigate the risk of life or career threatening skate lacerations with breathable cut-resistant aramid fiber. 

Play without fear knowing that the exposed areas of your body including your Achilles Tendon, calves, hamstrings, ankles, inner thighs, and forearms and wrists are protected.

Compression Clothing was first prescribed by doctors to patients that had poor circulation to improve blood flow back into the heart and to assist in the prevention of blood clots. Later in the 1980’s, sports industry apparel companies began introducing products with integrated compression technology to assist in muscle recovery time, strain and soreness and to improve overall athletic performance.

Aramid Fiber was first developed in the 1960’s by accident and the material that is made from aramid fiber is flexible, thin and strong. So strong in fact that the breaking tenacity is roughly 4-5times more than that of steel. At Daredevil we use aramid fabric overlays around the ankles, hamstrings, and calves as well as above the knees and inner thighs as well as around the forearms and underneath the arms providing protection to all vulnerable areas of the upper and lower body. 

Moisture-Wicking is what happens when synthetic fibers are treated with a solution to prevent water absorption into fabrics. By using moisture-wicking fabric in all our Daredevil Hockey apparel, athletes can expect moisture and sweat to evaporate rapidly away from the body keeping them cool and focused on enhancing their on-ice performance.

Daredevil Hockey apparel was created to help athletes be the best they can be but also to help them feel safe and secure while engaged in their favorite sport – the coolest game on ice. We know how important focus and control is for an athlete, but we also know that those things can be hindered by mental illnesses such as depression, anxiety, and addiction. At Daredevil Hockey we are committed to raising mental health awareness and ending the stigma.

Daredevil Hockey supports mental health awareness through community events and donations. Please feel free to reach out to us to let us know how we can support your local mental health organization.
