Quality, Style, Individuality – Hockey Skateboards at skatedeluxe
As a child of good parents, one knows what’s important. Hockey is no exception. The high-quality streetwear delivers solid designs and top workmanship without losing sight of the fact that time spent on the board always has top priority. That’s why with Hockey Skateboards, you’ll have the best wood under your feet, for which creative designer Benny Magliano is responsible with his keen eye for design.
But hoodies, t-shirts, sweaters and long sleeves also come with simple and chic graphics that don’t just rely on extravagant colours to catch your eye. This represents the core of skateboarding for the whole body. Why did they choose the name “Hockey”? AVE explains it clear and simple: “It’s kind of brutal, kind of like hockey”.
Escape from the Autopsy - From the Workshop to FA & Hockey Skateboards
You surely know Jason Dill and Anthony Van Engelen from Alien Workshop. In 2014 when the cult brand was oscillating between ending, taking a break and starting new, the two began working on the idea of their own brand. Thus, Fucking Awesome – or to the inclined skate nerd, simply FA - was born.
Shortly after, came the sentence: "Hey, we want to do a company, you and Donovan, that's it, we're going to call it Hockey." By “you”, they were referring to John Fitzgerald and thus, a raw edit of the two was released in which it’s unquestionably clear that Hockey is 100% about skating. No frills, just Hockey.
