Hello Fellow JMS'ers, BASE Hockey is a family owned company that manufactures custom-made/fit, pro stock hockey sticks, for far less money than what you might find at retail. As a client, (with my assistance) you choose your flex, curve/pattern and lie. Not only that, you may choose from a variety of color combinations, as well as having your name, number and team logo on the shaft. There are Custom Team Artwork options as well. Here at BASE Hockey, we strive to have each player go through a fitting to insure that the player is getting the correct stick. The fitting process is just like what golfers have done when getting golf clubs and you are able to use a BASE stick (to your specs) during the fitting! In most cases for team sales, we’re able to come to a practice or team event (in the metro) to do fittings at minimal cost to the team. The concept is truly grassroots and highly revolutionary in the hockey stick industry. Not only is the performance top-notch, BASE sticks are also incredibly durable. Warranty is 30 days per stick. Contact me to set up a fitting and to demo a stick. dbalow42@basehockey.ca

Vouch for Dirk. I was a part of the Special Ops testing team for Base. It is a solid stick when you break it all down. I can't say anything really negative at all about them. The custom fitment process is awesome as well.

I can vouch for the fitting also. I got fitted right before leaving town for 2 months for work. The fitting was great and I liked the stick very much. I ordered mine so it will arrive just before I get back into town. I recommend getting fitted if you are in the market for a stick regardless of skill level. I am anxiously waiting to get back home and get my early birthday present (my stick) out on the ice.

I also can vouch for base hockey. I've ordered a stick for myself (44 year old slow mite hockey coach) and one for my son. Both sticks have served us well. We have had our associations logo and colors on the stick and they are very high quality. Dirk is great to work with and knows his stuff. I would highly recommend giving Base a try.

Add me to the list of satisfied Base Hockey users. I took possesion of mine almost two years ago. In that time the stick has been used - with rare exception - twice a week. Most often at JMS. The stick wears like iron. Most notably where sticks begin to deteriorate: the toe. I've experienced no ply separation or chipping/cracking on the toe of the blade. I find the stick to be light and have good puck feel. A durable, fitted stick that wiil easily outlast 4 sticks for the average price of two? What's not to like?
