Frequently Asked Questions

TOVI Hockey is proud to offer Made in USA hockey sticks. While most competitors outsource to overseas factories, our patented DiamondAire Blade is designed, engineered, and manufactured right here in Massachusetts and New Hampshire. By keeping production local, we ensure the highest quality control and durability for every stick we ship.

The DiamondAire Blade is available in the industry’s most popular curve patterns, including the T28 (Open Toe) and T92 (Mid-Curve). These are equivalent to the popular Eichel, Kane, and McDavid curves used by elite players to maximize puck control and shot accuracy.

Yes! When you order from our website, you can fully customize your stick’s flex, kick point (Mid-Kick or Low-Kick), and hand orientation. For elite players requiring specialized specs, we also offer individual custom quotes to ensure your gear matches your specific playing style.

• Yes. At approximately 415 grams for Senior models, the TOVI DiamondAire is one of the lightest sticks on the market. Because our blade requires no tape, it remains lighter than competitor sticks that gain up to 15g once taped, giving you a faster shot release and reduced fatigue during the third period.

We offer a 60-day standard warranty for both Sabotage and Mirage sticks, which is twice as long as the 30-day industry standard. This reflects our absolute confidence in the superior durability provided by our 100% solid carbon fiber construction.

While most competitors offer no safety net once you hit the ice, we go further with an exclusive 30-day money-back guarantee. We are so certain that you will love the performance and that the stick will last that we’ve eliminated the risk entirely. We don't just stand behind our sticks longer than anyone else. We guarantee you’ll be hooked from the first shift.

​​Most sticks use a foam core that breaks down over time, leading to "dead spots." The TOVI DiamondAire features a 100% solid carbon fiber blade. This unique construction provides a larger sweet spot, consistent puck feel, and unmatched durability compared to traditional composite sticks.

The patented perforated design of the DiamondAire Blade allows air to flow through the stick, reducing drag. This results in 13% faster shot release for the same physical effort, directly translating into increased shot power, and faster stick handling.

Our sticks meet the official specifications of USA Hockey, the NHL, and the IIHF for use in any sanctioned league worldwide. Unlike standard competitor sticks, we utilize elite 100% solid carbon fiber, a level of engineering comparable to the Boron fiber and Spread Tow technologies used by NHL pros for extreme durability and weight reduction. This high-grade construction ensures your DiamondAire delivers pro-level performance that lasts far longer than the industry average.

No! Taping a TOVI stick actually reduces its aerodynamic benefits. Our blades feature a patented micro-grip texture and come pre-treated with DiamondCoat Wax Tape that keeps your blade tacky for every use on the ice.  

TOVI DiamondCoat Liquid Tape is a proprietary, brush-on coating that provides the same soft-grip feel as cloth tape without the weight.

Important Product Update: TOVI Hockey is currently discontinuing the Liquid Tape and transitioning to the use of DiamondCoat Wax Tape. We recommend that players use our new hydrophobic wax puck directly on our patented micro-grip surface to achieve superior puck control and protection without the need for traditional tape. Every TOVI DiamondAire stick is now optimized for use with this high-performance wax to ensure the blade remains lightweight and never gets "soggy" in the snow.

The easiest way to get your custom-built TOVI stick is directly through tovihockey.com. We ship directly to your door, ensuring you get a professional-grade stick built to your exact flex and curve specifications.

You can experience the DiamondAire difference in person at Pure Hockey and Source for Sports, our two largest retail partners across North America. Pure Hockey carries TOVI gear at various locations throughout the USA, while Source for Sports serves as our premier retail destination in Canada and select US regions. We recommend calling your local store ahead of time to confirm current stock of your preferred flex and curve.

Unlike traditional Bauer or CCM sticks that rely on foam cores, TOVI uses a patented 100% solid carbon fiber DiamondAire blade. This eliminates "dead spots" and provides 13% faster swing speeds, giving you an edge in quick-release shots and puck feel.

No!  The holes are aerodynamically engineered to let air pass through while the "micro-grip" surface ensures the puck stays glued to your blade during dekes and stickhandling.

Yes. Most composite sticks lose their "pop" or break at the foam core. TOVI’s solid carbon fiber construction is built for long-term durability, meaning you won't have to replace it as often. We have the senior size blade on junior sticks because we believe the kids should have ZERO disadvantage on the ice, unlike most junior sticks that have a smaller blade. Plus, our 60-day warranty is double the industry standard, offering parents peace of mind.

Choosing the correct stick flex is vital for development. TOVI offers Intermediate and Junior options designed to help younger players load the stick properly, improving their shooting technique and power without straining their growing muscles.

Correct! TOVI sticks are engineered with a patented micro-grip surface texture that eliminates the need for traditional cloth tape, saving you money and time in the locker room. To maximize performance, we recommend using our DiamondCoat Wax Tape, which is a specialized wax puck that rubs directly onto the blade to provide superior grip that never gets "soggy" in the snow. This combination ensures your child maintains elite puck control and a lightweight feel throughout the entire game.

Yes! Through the Youth Hockey Discount Partner Program, associations can save money while earning funds back. Members receive 10% off gear and free shipping, while the association receives $100 back for every 5 sticks purchased. Once the association reaches 25 sticks, TOVI donates an additional $50 for every 10 sticks sold thereafter.

Absolutely. We offer bulk ordering for teams, allowing every player to have a stick custom-built to their specific flex, curve, and kick point. Because our sticks are made in the USA, we can often provide faster turnaround times for team orders than brands relying on overseas shipping.

Traditional foam-core blades can feel "muffled" or develop dead spots over time. The TOVI solid carbon fiber construction provides a more "connected" feel, acting as an extension of the player’s hands. This helps players feel exactly where the puck is on their blade, leading to better stickhandling and more accurate passing during drills and games.

Yes. Our blades have passed 1,000,000 cycle tests without losing their "pop". While foam-core sticks lose their stiffness and energy transfer over time, TOVI sticks maintain their structural integrity. This ensures your players are performing with the same high-quality equipment in the playoffs as they were on opening night.
