About Sherwood Hockey
Sherwood Hockey (originally Sherwood-Drolet) was founded in Quebec in 1899 and is still manufacturing sticks, gloves, and protective gear in Canada. The brand is best known for its value-tier sticks (Code, WF, Rekker lines) which compete on price-performance against Bauer and CCM at the mid-tier. Sherwood also has a strong presence in the glove category with several NHL-worn models. The brand has not committed to the senior premium price tier ($300+) where Bauer and CCM dominate, instead focusing on producing strong equipment at the $80-$200 range. Sherwood's Canadian manufacturing remains a differentiator — most other brands manufacture in Asia.
