Built around the specs that matter.
You can't get these anywhere else.
Every year, Source for Sports store owners sit down with Bauer, CCM, TRUE and Warrior and help design gear around the features we see players ask for most. The result is only sold in a Source store.
SOURCE EXCLUSIVE SKATESWe help design the gear we sell.
Source for Sports is the largest buying group for hockey in Canada, and as a member, The Hockey Shop is proud to provide exceptional service — and exceptional exclusives.
Source Exclusive hockey gear is an ongoing collaboration between Source for Sports and the biggest manufacturers on the market, including Bauer, CCM, TRUE, and Warrior. Every year, owners from partnered stores across Canada come together with those manufacturers to design improved catalogue models using tech from high-end gear.
The gear in this category is built to a spec sheet our member stores helped write — the features we have seen matter most to the people who actually play, put together in a package we are happy to put our name on. And as the name implies, these unique designs are exclusive to Source for Sports member locations, including The Hockey Shop.
We don't just stock these — we helped design them.

Two we helped build.
