Hockey Costs Just Went Up. Here's How Your Pub Can Help Keep Kids in the Game

Hockey Goal Celebration at the Pub

BAR OWNERS SAVE THE DAY!

Can families survive the costs of life and still send their kids to hockey? Families will soon face tough choices about whether they can keep their kids in the game. Prices have again been increased along with inflated costs for equipment and travel is quickly leaving good skaters behind. 

Unless we step in.

At OG Straws, we believe junior hockey belongs at the heart of every Canadian town — and every community pub has the power to help keep it there.

Here's How It Works:

  • Switch to OG Straws — a cleaner, cooler alternative to paper straws for your cocktails and cold drinks. (We don't do smoothies or slushies — just solid performance from hot toddies to iced G&Ts.)
  • Subscribe for one year — monthly or seasonal delivery available.
  • We support your local junior hockey team — because instead of paying a distributor, we redirect our commission to the nearest junior hockey club.
  • We help boost your pub's Google Maps visibility — with positive review support from our network and fans.
  • You get signage & QR codes showing you're an Official Junior Hockey Supporter.

This isn't just a straw. It's a statement.

Your bar will save money, impress guests, and give back — all while skipping the soggy mess of paper straws.

Interested in helping your local team?

Sign up for free samples and we will reach out to you.  Leave your name, your business name and email. We'll check if your local junior team is registered or help them get set up.

Jump in now, buy local and subscribe to OG Hockey Straws for local reliable supply of straws for the busy Christmas season. 

Let's keep those skates on the ice where they belong.
