DIFFERENT. BETTER. SMARTER
Sticks that make you a better hockey player.
Why we started Tulip Sports
We started Tulip Sports for one simple reason: to make hockey better.
We’re not a marketing agency. Not a retail chain.Not an investment group.
We’re hockey players — athletes, coaches, and true fans of the game. We saw how brands kept doing the same thing year after year. A new color, a new name, carbon from Sweden, Japan, or Turkmenistan… And then cross their fingers and hope it sells.
But what does that actually do for the player? As the season goes on, everyone gets dragged into stores with discounts. We decided to do it differently. No recycled catalog sticks from last year. No desperate discount shouting.
Instead: handmade products, developed with guts, tested by top players, and built to truly make a difference.
For us, it’s all about the game. Better products. Better game. Better results.
"That’s why we build sticks to elevate your game."
The stick that fits.
At Tulip, we think through every detail. Our sticks aren’t based on what’s already out there.
They’re built from what you need on the field. Handmade in Pakistan, tested by top players, and refined using real feedback.
No guesswork. No templates. Just smart thinking.
