TOA Hockey Sticks

Check out what Eddie has been up to lately....

Welcome to TOA Hockey. For too long hockey players in New Zealand have been forced to use Australian and European hockey sticks. Finally you can use a world class hockey stick with a distinctly New Zealand origin and flavour. TOA have been developing sticks for two years and our 2010 limited edition range gives you the best shape and production technology available. Manufactured in a leading Pakistan factory, designed and tested in New Zealand and now ready to take the hockey world by storm.
