What Floorball+ does
Floorball+, operating under the legal name HOCKEYBALL, is a Canadian-based sports equipment company incorporated and headquartered in North Vancouver, British Columbia. The company designs, sources, and sells floor hockey equipment — sticks, kits, and accessories — through a direct-to-consumer Shopify storefront, with no disclosed physical retail presence. Founded with activity documented from 2014 (firmographics) and a web footprint dating to at least 2016, the company operates with 11–50 employees and has no disclosed external funding rounds.
The product portfolio is organized into three collections: Hockeyball Sticks (Playmaker Pro at $49.99 and Kinetic X Freestyle at $59.99), Hockeyball Kits (bundles of 10, 20, and 40 sticks priced $379–$1,379, plus a SOAP Hockeyball Kit at $434), and Hockeyball Accessories (team bags at $55 and floorballs). The core technical proposition is accessibility — products are designed for play on virtually any flat surface (gymnasiums, streets, tennis courts, grass, beaches) without ice or expensive specialized equipment. The company has extended this accessibility positioning into adaptive sports variants, including wheelchair Hockeyball, Blind Hockeyball, Deaf Hockeyball, and Walking Hockeyball, and explicitly targets schools, families, and recreational players.
The business model is hardware-driven, with revenue generated primarily through one-time unit and bundle sales priced in USD and CAD across US and Canadian sites. A subscription membership program introduces a recurring-revenue component. Marketing is conducted through organic social channels (Facebook, Instagram), blog content, and email newsletter, while distribution is supplemented by a Registered Hockeyball Partners fundraising program that allows third-party organizations to resell equipment. The company has no disclosed enterprise sales motion, no API or software platform, and no AI/ML capabilities. The competitive framing positions Hockeyball as "what Pickleball is to racket sports" — a category-style narrative rather than a defensible technology platform.

Floorball+ competitors and assessment
Company assessmentEmerging players
- Gryphon Hockey: Gryphon Hockey produces field hockey sticks and equipment globally. Comparable as a niche stick-sports equipment brand serving a smaller, specialized community similar to how Hockeyball targets a non-ice hockey niche.
- JOOLA Pickleball: JOOLA is a leading pickleball paddle and equipment brand with strong tournament and grassroots community presence. Comparable as a Pickleball-era category leader whose playbook (accessibility, tournaments, community content) Hockeyball explicitly references as its strategic template.
- Selkirk Sport: Selkirk Sport is one of the leading pickleball paddle brands and helped build the modern pickleball category through community-led growth and tournaments. Directly comparable business-model analog: Hockeyball's stated ambition is to do for hockey what Selkirk/Pickleball did for racket sports.
Direct peers
- Franklin Sports: Franklin Sports is a major manufacturer of recreational and street hockey equipment, including sticks, goal sets, and balls sold through mass retail. Closely comparable as a ball/street/floor hockey equipment brand serving recreational and youth markets — Hockeyball's core segment.
- Tour Hockey: Tour Hockey specializes in street hockey sticks, balls, and accessories marketed to recreational and youth players. Directly comparable as a street/ball hockey equipment specialist targeting similar entry-level and recreational use cases.
Broad incumbents
- CCM Hockey: CCM is a major hockey equipment brand producing sticks, skates, helmets and protective gear with broad retail distribution. Directly comparable as a competing hockey stick and equipment manufacturer targeting similar end-users.
- Warrior Sports: Warrior produces ice hockey sticks, gloves, and protective gear with strong presence in retail and at the pro level. Comparable as a competing hockey equipment manufacturer with overlapping stick product category.
- Sherwood Hockey: Sherwood produces ice hockey sticks, goalie equipment, and accessories and is widely used at amateur and pro levels. Comparable as a hockey stick brand competing for the same end-consumer wallet share.
- Bauer Hockey: Bauer is the dominant ice hockey equipment manufacturer globally, producing sticks, skates, and protective gear. Comparable as the incumbent hockey equipment brand Hockeyball must differentiate against; offers overlapping stick product lines but anchored to ice play.
- STX Lacrosse / Hockey: STX produces lacrosse and hockey equipment including sticks and protective gear. Comparable as a stick-based sports equipment brand with hockey product overlap and retail distribution reach that Hockeyball lacks.
