About Ribbon
We help hockey players get their grip back.
Literally. And mentally.
At RIBBON, we believe one of the most important parts of a hockey stick has been overlooked for far too long.
Your grip.
It's the only part of your stick you hold throughout the entire game.
Every first touch.
Every pass.
Every tackle.
Every shot.
Everything starts there.
Yet for decades, hockey grips barely changed.
We thought that deserved a second look.
On the field, and on your feed.
How did RIBBON come about?
👋 Hi! I’m Lieke.
RIBBON didn’t start with a big office or a detailed business plan.
It simply started at my kitchen table at home.
I’ve played field hockey my whole life, and I kept wondering: why do we pay so much attention to the stick or the shoes, but almost never to the grip? After all, it’s the one part you’re holding onto throughout the entire match.
I looked into it and discovered there was surprisingly little innovation.
So, I started sketching, testing materials, and calling suppliers. With just one goal: to create a hockey grip that truly feels better.
What started as an idea at the kitchen table grew into RIBBON.
And honestly? I still regularly sit at that same kitchen table. Only now, I have even more ideas for giving hockey players back their GRIP.
Developed by and for hockey players
Everything starts on the hockey pitch.
New materials are tested, adjusted, and improved—until they truly feel better.
We do this together with players at every level: from youth and club players to internationals like Duco Telgenkamp and Lucie Ehrmann.
Because we only release products that we fully stand behind.
