DOM Sports

What DOM Sports does

DOM Sports is a Toronto, Canada-based manufacturer and distributor of niche sporting goods, founded in 1968. The company produces floor hockey sticks, ringette sticks, golf clubs, and related accessories using its proprietary Skinex integral-skin polyurethane formulation, and it also distributes third-party brands including Allen Shuffleboard, Street Racket, Arrowsoft, Big Game Hunters, Netplayz, and You.fo through its dealer channel.

Its go-to-market is wholesale via 25+ dealers spanning North America and Europe, targeting physical-education programs in schools, youth and community sports leagues, and recreational facilities. Proprietary brands include Ring-Jet (ringette), SuperSafe, MiniShoot, and JuniorSwing (golf training aids). Notable commercial relationships include the Ring-Jet designation as official Team Canada stick supplier for the 2022 World Ringette Championships and a partnership with Golf Canada's Future Links junior-golf program.

The business model is straightforward wholesale distribution of both manufactured and distributed sporting goods, supplemented by a curriculum/subscription channel via Street Racket. The company is privately held, employs approximately 8 people, and has no publicly disclosed revenue. Recurring CPSC recall activity in 2022 and 2024 is a material operational and brand risk that warrants monitoring.
