A Great Gift for a Hockey Lover

DIY chair made of hockey sticks


A few years ago, I was stumbling around on the internet when I happened to come across a chair made out of hockey sticks. I was trying to find the perfect present for Nick, who is clearly a hockey lover. This chair looked pretty cool, and I decided it would be a great gift for Nick- until I came across the price tag. It was just a hair under $600- for a chair that I knew for a fact either my Dad or my Grandpa could make! (interested in getting a chair like this as a gift for your hockey-lover? If so, contact me!)

Instantly, I took a picture of it and sent it on to my Dad and Grandpa, and was given an affirmative "yes, I can make that no problem!" Thus began the process of collecting broken hockey sticks- mine, Nick's, random friends and teammates that happened to break a stick. Within a few months, we had two chairs built!

I'll be honest- I have no idea how the chairs were made, besides time and effort. A very cool gift for a hockey-lover! (thanks for building these for Nick, you two!)

  1. In a flash, I took a photo of it and sent it on to my Dad and Grandpa, and was given a positive "yes, I can make that no issue!" Thus started the procedure of gathering broken hockey sticks-mine, Nick's, irregular companions and buddies that happened to break a stick. Inside a couple of months, we had two seats assembled!

  2. Right away, I took a photo of it and sent it on to my Dad and Grandpa, and was given a confirmed "yes, I can make that no issue!" Thus started the way toward gathering broken hockey sticks-mine, Nick's, arbitrary companions and partners that happened to break a stick. Inside a couple of months, we had two seats assembled!
