Geschichte
Founded in 2015 by professional skateboarders Jason Dill and Anthony Van Engelen, Hockey emerged as a sister label to Fucking Awesome. It established a distinct identity through its focus on a specific roster of riders and a darker visual language. The brand is significant for maintaining an underground, skater-owned perspective in an increasingly commercialized industry. Its influence persists through lo-fi video productions and a refusal to follow traditional fashion cycles.
