ABOUT RINKSTOP
RinkStop is a global hockey directory built to connect the hockey world -- from NHL teams to youth programs in non-traditional markets, from professional leagues to local rinks, from established players to first-time lace-ups.
OUR MISSION
We believe hockey is more than a sport -- it's a global community. Our mission is to make that community accessible to everyone, anywhere. Whether you're a parent looking for a youth program, a scout searching for talent in Southeast Asia, or a player exploring opportunities abroad, RinkStop is built to help you find what you need.
Hockey is growing faster than ever in non-traditional markets. China, the Philippines, Thailand, South Africa -- the sport is reaching new places and new people. RinkStop exists to document that growth and serve the communities driving it.
WHO WE ARE
RinkStop was founded by Arnel Larracas -- a hockey enthusiast with over 20 years of experience in the sport, from playing in Chicago to coaching in the Philippines. Coming from a politics background and having lived and traveled across Africa, Asia, and the Philippines, Arnel saw firsthand how disconnected the global hockey community was.
That experience drove the creation of RinkStop: one place where anyone, anywhere, can find and share information about hockey at every level.
WHAT WE COVER
EDITORIAL CONTENT
Beyond the directory, RinkStop publishes original editorial content covering the business, development, and culture of hockey. From NHL draft analysis to the growth of hockey in non-traditional markets, our articles are written for fans who want to understand the sport at a deeper level.
