For years after my military service, I found myself battling the invisible wounds of my time in uniform. Mental health challenges cast a long shadow, making connection and purpose feel distant. It wasn't until I discovered Warrior hockey that a light began to break through. The camaraderie, the shared experiences with fellow veterans, and the simple act of playing hockey became a lifeline. It was more than just a game; it was a brotherhood that truly saved me. Having spent 15 years immersed in the apparel industry, my passion for quality and design runs deep. Combine that with a lifelong (some might say obsessive) love for hockey gear, and the vision for Rink Riot was born. This isn't just another apparel and equipment brand. Rink Riot is fueled by a desire to give back to the communities that have given so much. We are committed to donating a portion of our proceeds to warrior organizations and first responders, ensuring they have the support they deserve. For me, Rink Riot is more than a business; it's a way to pay forward the support I received and to continue fostering the spirit of unity and resilience that I found on the ice with my fellow Warriors.
