About Us

Wilansky Hockey (WH) was started to operate a franchise of Integral Hockey at the end of 2013 and was operating under Integral Hockey Ontario East.  The owner, Mark, was looking to better use his skills and put his passion for hockey into a meaningful endeavour.  With today’s focus on being “green”, what better solution was there then repairing broken high-end sticks and keeping all of that carbon fibre, fibre glass and other materials that do not decompose out of landfills and on the ice instead!

Mark quickly developed a passion for working in the hockey industry, and, in the first year alone, was able to save parents and players thousands of dollars, while stopping over 200 sticks from polluting our planet.  Furthermore, Mark has established relationships with local teams to obtain their broken Pro Stock sticks, which are carefully selected and Reloaded for resale at a fraction of the original price.

Thanks to John from Spokes N Edges (J.A. Dulude Arena), Mark became a proficient skate sharpener.  With the number of products and services growing, Wilansky Hockey was no longer just the name behind the business, but became the new public name and face in early 2015, when we opened shop in Fred Barrett Arena.  In 2019, we expanded to the University of Ottawa; however,  after 18 months and the COVID pandemic, we decided to close that location and focus on Fred Barett and expanding the apparel aspect of WH.  It was great being the official sharpener for the men's and women's Gee Gee varsity hockey teams though!  The feedback from both teams was amazing and we continue to be one of Ottawa's premier locations for sharpening. 

In late 2021,  we expanded our services by making  name bars, jerseys and other custom apparel in-house.  Now, we work with three hockey associations and a soccer club, and we are working hard every day to expand that list to bring you top quality apparel and reasonable prices.  

Finally, in 2022, we launched Silky Gear - our in-house athletic lifestyle brand.  We have a few of our own designs, as well as customized designs for team apparel.  This is growing so keep your eyes open for new stuff!!
