About Us

My name is Ryan, though if you ask anyone I’ve skated with over the last 30+ years, they know me as Krunk. It’s been my nickname, my identity on and off the ice, and even my license plate. Now, it’s on the side of a stick.

I’ve been involved in hockey for over three decades. As a coach, instructor, referee, and despite my various injuries, I still play today. I've manned every position on the ice. Grew up a goaltender and moved out from there. I've done it all, including playing all six positions in a single game. I know what a stick needs to do when you're digging in the corners, taking a clapper from the point, or trying to poke-check a breakaway.

Over the years, I got tired of the industry standard. I've used almost every stick on the market, and I completely reject the idea that any player should have to overpay just to get elite, reliable performance.

I started this company with a very simple mission: distribute high-quality, pro-level sticks at a reasonable price. No gimmicks, no massive marketing budgets, and no garbage you don’t need. Just a damn good stick designed by you, for what you need, not by what corporations are telling you to buy.

My hope is to be the trusted stick in the hands of the players who actually grind out the game, proving that the best gear on the ice comes from the people who play it, not the boardrooms that market it.

Krunk Hockey was created by a hockey player, for hockey players.
