Mylec

What Mylec does

Mylec, Inc. is a privately held specialty sporting-goods manufacturer headquartered in Winchendon, Massachusetts, that has been producing non-ice hockey equipment for more than 40 years. The company designs, manufactures, and distributes a comprehensive product portfolio covering street hockey, ball hockey, roller/inline hockey, dek hockey, and floor hockey — including composite and wood sticks, proprietary No-Bounce® balls, pucks, steel and PVC goals, helmets, gloves, shin pads, elbow pads, goaltending equipment, training aids, replacement parts, and bundled home-hockey combo packages. Core technical differentiation rests on a small set of trademarked features: No-Bounce® ball construction, Air-Flo® ventilation in shin pads, the M-Grip gel overlay in player gloves, and a Heavyweight Sleeve Netting System used across its goal line.

Operationally, Mylec sells through two channels: a direct-to-consumer e-commerce storefront at mylec.com (with a Canadian counterpart at mylec.ca) and a broad retail-distribution network that includes Amazon, Walmart, Target, Dick's Sporting Goods, Overstock, and specialty hockey retailers such as Inline Warehouse and Greatskate.com. Pricing is unit-based across SKUs ranging from sub-$10 accessories (tape, grips) to roughly $400 goalie combo packages, with bundle discounts up to 25 percent and a $200-minimum 10 percent off promo code. Customer segmentation is horizontal: recreational and competitive players of non-ice hockey variants, goalkeepers, youth players learning through the Future Pro and Mini Hockey product lines, and tournament participants under sanctioning bodies such as ISBHF, ASHI, and CBHA.

Go-to-market is product-led, built around the e-commerce site, an active Instagram presence (@mylechockey), email capture with a first-order discount, and an event-driven marketing layer anchored by NEBH official ball sponsorship, Instigator Ball Hockey and Broad Street Athletics tournament sponsorship, and the Mylec Youth Cup. Mylec also extends into adjacent recreational SKUs (lacrosse, baseball, soccer goals) and branded apparel, using these as lighter-weight ways to monetize brand equity outside the core hockey buyer. Headcount is reported at 11-50 employees and the company is independently owned with no disclosed venture, private equity, or parent-company backing.
