Towards the end of the 60's, C.A. Stacey (Stace to his friends) accidentally got involved in sports articles.
As a top ice-hockey league player he broke many ice-hockey sticks. Rumors were going around that the present ice-hockey stick factory was going to stop production. Out of panic Stacey decided to make his own sticks as he already had a lot of experience with wood and fiberglass. His first stick is, to date, still in one piece and word got around and quite unexpectedly three players visited his house on a Sunday morning and ordered three sticks and that's how the Stacey ice-hockey stick factory got started.
Later the goalie masks became part of the production, manufacturing his own brand of goalie masks and sticks with various high tech fibers. His competence quickly got around and Stacey was asked to produce high tech parts for racing cars, speedboats and airplanes. Special operation equipment for hospitals was another range of Stacey's products.
Due to the high quality of his ice-hockey masks (no break at all!) and sticks, Stacey was approached by an Dutch importer to modify his masks in such a way that made them suitable for the field-hockey market. Within a short space of time Stacey produced 940 masks of which not one has broken. Once in contact with the field-hockey market Stacey decided to manufacture sticks for field-hockey with carbon, aramid and glassfiber too, as the process is similar to the reinforcement of ice-hockey sticks. After being successfully tested by players of the Dutch national team, several internationally known companies allowed their top-of-the-range sticks to be produced by Stacey.
In 1973 Stacey moved to the Netherlands and decided to produce ice and field-hockey sticks with his own name. Stacey applies high-grade synthetic fibers for the reinforcement, which mostly only he is allowed to use as they are representing the state of the art technology and are not freely available.
Stacey, the synonym for the highest quality on the hockey market.
