Crow Hockey: The story so far…
Crow Hockey: The story so far…
Where it started…
With Lockdown in full effect and hockey across the board rudely grounded to a halt, we like many of you spend hours online looking at new and exciting hockey equipment, dreaming of a new stick, glove or bag!
What we found was unbelievable! The “big brands charging over £300 for sticks and even the so called independent smaller brands asking for over £200! We knew that we had to step in and try to make a difference.
That light bulb moment
A lightbulb went off and we started to formulate the vision and goals you see are the core ethos for Crow Hockey today. We planned to be able to create and deliver truly international quality equipment that could not only compete with the big brand names, but makes you feel like you are a world beating superstar. All of this had to be achieved by passing on all the savings to you, the hockey player and the hockey loving families that make our sport so special. With this at the forefront of our mind, we forged on with the dream and a steely determination, contacting numerous developers, designers and factories, as well as spending hundreds of hours researching and interviewing players to identify what was most important to them. So here we are! We are now so proud to say that we are partnered with the very best manufacturers in the market, who make the equipment you’ve already seen at the Olympics, National Leagues and used by some of your teammates. Play with the very best, feel like you are giving back and never breaking the bank!
Why choose Crow Hockey?
At Crow Hockey we believe that great products should not only be paired with great service, but that each of you should feel a part of #TeamCrow and our vision to be the most technology forward, sustainability focused Hockey brand in the market.
Giving back
Crow Hockey are proud to partner with a number of organisations that offer support to both local and international communities. We have a passion for diversity and inclusion and our sponsorship programme is open to all.
We do not discriminate or restrict our applications by age, colour or creed. We were on of the original participant within the ‘Hockey All In’ movement and contribute regularly to discussions on how we can assist and increase exposure to players from all backgrounds, ethnicities, and cultures etc #ALLIN. In the same vein, we were also the original official equipment sponsor for the Hockey Mentors programme.
Our main charity partner is MIND UK and we give 5% of EVERY sale to the organisation, as our way of helping an organisation that is here for so many during the darkest times. We also have partnered with the charity Mind. As a charity, the great work they do for those who need assistance with Mental Health can never be under-estimated. We wanted to help raise their profile and provide a true partnership. 5% of all sales (whether you use a promotional / partnership discount code or not) is donated to them to assist them to continue their amazing work.
Sustainability
As a brand, Crow Hockey is determined that the future of the sport be preserved and that the world around us is protected too. From the small steps of exclusively using recycled cardboard from local stores, our own home deliveries and donations, to partnering with our factories to ensure our apparel, is all recycled, organic and vegan friendly. A great example is our Snapbacks, which have been created from recycled and rescued plastic from the sea and can be traced back through our manufacturer to where it has been collected from.
A new and exciting major charity partner for Crow Hockey is Ripple Africa. Their Tree Planting project works with thousands of farmers and communities who are planting millions of quick-growing trees each year which provides a sustainable source of timber and firewood for local people. The tree farmers also plant fruit trees to provide food and income for their families. They grow mango, papaya, guava, avocado and citrus fruit trees. Together we have planted 19 million trees, planting an average of two million trees each year. For every stick sold, we will be providing the charity with the means to plant 4 trees including fruit trees, helping them raise income.
