High Stick operates in a commercial facility located  in Tampa Bay, Florida.  We maintain our physical location to serve our local customers, so we are more than a dot-com-er, and we won't be a dot-goner.  It's not uncommon in the printing and customization industry--especially online--that many businesses operate out of a home or garage.  Not to knock the home printers because some of the quality is good, but typically, turnover rates of these businesses is high, and customer service leaves a bit to be desired.  Be assured that when you order from us, you will be able to place a fill-in order six months later, and we'll still be here to serve you.  Two years from now when you're ready to outfit another team, we'll be here to serve you.  We pride ourselves on quality customer service and quality products, and our repeat customers are a testament to that.

Thank you for visiting HIGHSTICK.com
We look forward to the opportunity to earn your custom hockey jersey business.

The High Stick Story

High Stick Hockey first opened its doors in 1991.

In 1989, I relocated to Florida from Massachusetts and began
playing ice hockey at a local arena shortly thereafter.
It certainly was great being able to play ice hockey in the
Sunshine State, but something was missing--a good Pro Shop!

That's when High Stick was born.  A retail location was opened, providing
hockey jerseys and protective equipment to virtually every hockey player in the
greater Tampa Bay area.  The business grew rapidly for the next several years,
but the hockey protective equipment business had reached its peak locally.

Looking for new ways to generate business, HIGHSTICK.com was launched
in 1996.  Selling new and used equipment via the Internet proved to be a great
boost initially, but the growing number of Internet and catalog clearing houses
made it difficult to compete.  That's when it hit me--why didn't I think of it before?
Use our internet presence for what we do best--CUSTOM HOCKEY JERSEYS!

That was 1998, and we haven't looked back since.  New sales are incredible and repeat
orders stream in on a regular basis--I'd like to thank all of our customers:  past, present, and
hopefully future.  The success of our custom hockey jersey business has allowed us to gracefully
bow out of an overly competitive retail hockey equipment industry, and be ourselves:
