Hockey Skateboards — Founded in 2015 by pro skaters Jason Dill and Anthony “AVE” Van Engelen, Hockey Skateboards was launched as a raw, gritty sister brand to Fucking Awesome. They’re based in Los Angeles.

What Makes Hockey Skateboards Unique

• Aggressive Aesthetic: They lean into a dark, uncompromising design language; horror-inflected graphics, warped imagery, VHS-style distortion, and bold collages define many of their deck graphics.

• Signature Shapes: Their decks don’t always follow “standard” proportions. Hockey often uses less tapered nose/tail and unique wheelbase & length combos, which changes how the board feels when skating. 

• Authentic Roots: As the “sister” brand to Fucking Awesome, Hockey grew out of a shared skate-creative vision.

• Strong Team: Their rider lineup includes intense, fearless skaters like John Fitzgerald, Ben Kadow, Andrew Allen, Diego Todd, and others, all known for pushing street skating hard.

• Skate Videos & Culture: Hockey’s video parts and brand edits are known for lo-fi, gritty visuals. They're not polished commercial productions, but raw expressions of skate life.

• Apparel & Accessories: Beyond decks, they make hoodies, tees, hats, and more.  All with their signature raw, gritty style. 

Why We Gravitate Toward Hockey

Hockey appeals to skaters who want authenticity over hype. It’s for people who respect rough edges, want boards that feel different, and appreciate a brand that’s deeply rooted in skate culture, not just fashion. Their gear feels like it’s made for real skate sessions, not just Instagram.
