About Enity Hockey | UK Ice Hockey Equipment & Hockey Shop
About Enity Hockey
Enity Hockey began in Coventry as a clothing brand before developing into a wider sportswear business. Initially, the business focused predominantly on sportswear, but after recognising the highly competitive nature of the market and the difficulty of competing with established brands, the business took a six-month break and returned with a new direction: Enity Hockey.
The new identity embraced both the people behind the business and our passion for ice hockey.
Following a move to Leeds, the business developed into an ice hockey-focused operation, initially operating from a small shop within a living room. It quickly became clear that to grow, develop supplier relationships and offer customers a wider range of products, the business needed to progress into commercial premises.
Enity Hockey was established with a simple purpose: to help people understand ice hockey and make the sport more accessible.
We aim to support people who are completely new to the sport, beginners who need guidance, experienced players looking for equipment and families trying to understand what their child actually needs.
What Makes Enity Hockey Different?
Our primary focus is used ice hockey equipment.
Ice hockey can be an expensive sport. Players and families face costs associated with equipment, ice time, travel, training and games. We believe the cost of equipment should not be the reason someone cannot participate.
Used equipment allows customers to access better-quality equipment at a more affordable price than buying equivalent products brand new.
At the same time, we are helping prevent quality hockey equipment from sitting unused in cupboards or ultimately going to landfill.
Our philosophy is simple:
You don't need the most expensive equipment to become a great hockey player.
When someone is starting out, we would rather help them find suitable, affordable equipment than encourage them to purchase the most expensive products available.
Our Mission & Company Values
Our Mission
Enity Hockey exists to look after customers from the beginning of their hockey journey through to becoming experienced players.
We want to be a trusted point of contact for anyone who is unsure about what equipment they need, where to find it, how to get involved in ice hockey or how to progress within the sport.
Affordability is central to our mission. We aim to price our products fairly and consistently while maintaining enough margin to generate a sustainable profit that can be reinvested into the business and the community around us.
We are not trying to claim that we are going to be “the best ice hockey business in the country.”
Instead, we want to be known as:
Friendly. Consistent. Honest.
Our Core Values
Accessibility
Ice hockey should be available to people regardless of their budget, age or experience.
Honesty
We provide realistic advice and recommend what customers actually need rather than simply trying to sell the most expensive product.
Community
We believe a successful business should contribute to the community that supports it.
Sustainability
We want to extend the life of hockey equipment and reduce unnecessary waste.
Innovation
We continually look at new products, services, technology and ways of operating.
Our Grading Standards
Every item we list is graded using clear condition ratings so you know exactly what you're getting:
- Like New — Minimal to no signs of use. May have been tried on or used for a very short period. Looks and performs like new.
- Good — Light signs of use with normal wear. Fully functional with no structural issues. A solid, reliable piece of kit.
- Fair — Visible signs of use and wear, but still performs well. Great value for players on a budget or for practice use.
- Spares / Repairs — Items with notable wear or minor issues, listed clearly. Best for experienced buyers who know what they're working with.
We always include photos showing actual condition, and we describe any specific marks, scuffs, or quirks in the product listing. No surprises.

Meet The Team
Dan Read
Dan – Co-Founder & Head of Operations, Enity Hockey
In 2023, Dan joined Fin to help build Enity Hockey from the ground up — with a shared vision to create a distinctive brand that pushes the boundaries of what's possible in sports apparel. Together, they're passionate about developing high-quality, performance-driven hockey gear that players can truly rely on.
Dan's journey into ice hockey started three years ago in Coventry, and he fell in love with the sport instantly — both watching and playing. Since then, it's become a huge part of his life. He now coaches as a level one coach for Leeds Junior Knights — helping young players learn the basics and develop their game.
Enity Hockey was born from that same passion. Dan wanted to create a place where new players could get honest guidance on the right gear, learn what it takes to play well, and feel supported as they grow in the sport. Knowing how daunting it can be starting out, he and Fin are here to make that journey easier.
Dan's dream? To one day play in the National League — and to keep developing as both a player and a coach. Everything he does at Enity Hockey is driven by that love for the game.
