Building foundations, setting standards: Our journey as the first and largest community for youth hockey parents and players, worldwide. 

WHO ARE WE?

We're the largest online community for youth hockey players and parents.
 
With 64K loyal followers, we influence and shape the youth hockey experience worldwide.

The Beginning

In 2021, Kristina – a new hockey mom – set out to learn as much as she could about the world of youth hockey, and decided to share her journey via an Instagram page. Soon after, a passionate community of hockey families began growing around her.

Apparel Brand 

In early 2023, the For the Love of Hockey apparel brand was born - creating unique styles inspired by this same community of parents and their players. Premium quality and bespoke experiences quickly became a standard we hold ourselves to every day.

Our objective is not to fit in, but to stand out. Whatever we do, our goal is not to be good but to excel.

For the Love of Hockey Virtual

In late 2023, we set out to meet the training needs of youth hockey players when ice is not easily available. For the Love of Hockey Virtual was born. Developing results-driven systems has allowed us to transform the way a player can access training.
