The Revolutionary Force in Ice Hockey Apparel: The Arrival of PUCKPROS

The Rapid Growth of Ice Hockey

In recent years, ice hockey has experienced rapid global growth. In North America, the NHL (National Hockey League), as the world’s premier professional ice hockey league, has reached exceptional levels of excitement and commercial value. The annual Stanley Cup Finals attract countless fans worldwide, with tickets selling out instantly and broadcast rights fiercely contested by media outlets. Sales of merchandise and peripherals are equally impressive. In Europe, countries like Russia, Sweden, and Finland also embrace ice hockey as a beloved sport. Russia’s Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) boasts a massive scale, featuring top-tier players and driving the sport’s development across Europe.

Following the successful 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, ice hockey in China has entered a golden era. Increasing numbers of young people are participating in the sport, and ice hockey clubs and training institutions have mushroomed nationwide. Data shows a continuous rise in youth registrations with the China Ice Hockey Association and a steady increase in ice rinks across the country. Cities like Beijing, Shanghai, and Harbin frequently host ice hockey events ranging from youth leagues to international tournaments, elevating the sport’s prestige and influence. Meanwhile, countries such as Japan and South Korea are steadily advancing their ice hockey programs, unlocking Asia’s vast market potential.

The sport’s booming popularity has fueled demand for ice hockey apparel. Athletes and enthusiasts now seek not only high breathability and functionality but also stylish designs and reputable brands. This trend has created immense opportunities for manufacturers. Against this backdrop, PUCKPROS emerged, committed to delivering premium ice hockey apparel to enthusiasts worldwide.

The Birth and Mission of PUCKPROS

Wuhan Baoleshi Sports Goods Co., Ltd. was founded in 2010 by a group of ice hockey professionals. Through their own experiences, they identified critical shortcomings in existing ice hockey apparel—poor breathability that hindered performance during intense play and outdated designs that failed to meet modern demands for style and individuality.

To address these issues, they resolved to create a brand dedicated to ice hockey apparel, offering high-quality, high-performance, and fashionable gear. Our mission is to empower every ice hockey athlete through innovation and excellence, enabling them to perform at their best while enjoying the sport. Whether for professionals competing on the global stage or amateurs enjoying casual games, Wuhan Baoleshi’s apparel aims to be their trusted companion.

Products: Fusion of Technology and Design

(1) Fabric Technology

PUCKPROS apparel integrates cutting-edge fabric technologies, most notably Vortex-Mesh 3D and Armor-Pit Tech.

Vortex-Mesh 3D is a revolutionary polyester composite material offering 33.5% enhanced breathability compared to conventional sportswear. During high-intensity actions like skating, collisions, and shooting, the fabric rapidly wicks sweat away, maintaining comfort and preventing chilling moisture buildup. This innovation significantly boosts athletic performance.

Armor-Pit Tech utilizes advanced lamination to achieve a sleek, armored aesthetic while ensuring 46.8% greater tear resistance and structural stability. The fabric retains its premium look even after repeated machine washing.

(2) Ergonomic Design

Understanding the demands for flexibility in ice hockey, PUCKPROS apparel adheres to ergonomic principles.

Jerseys feature 3D tailoring at the shoulders and elbows, accommodating dynamic movements like stick handling, passing, and blocking. Shoulder cuts eliminate restrictions during high-arm motions, while elbow bends align with natural arm flexion, ensuring fluidity in repetitive actions.

(3) Customization Services

PUCKPROS offers extensive customization for teams, clubs, and individuals.
