Equipment Repairs & Stitching
Hockey gear takes a beating — torn pants, ripped gloves, blown seams, or worn padding don’t just look bad, they can compromise protection. Instead of replacing expensive equipment, our professional repair and stitching service restores strength, fit, and durability so your gear is safe, functional, and ready for game action. Every repair is done with industrial machines, pro-grade materials, and the same attention to detail used by equipment managers at the highest levels of hockey.

Protective Gear Stitching
– Torn seams in pants, shin guards, or shoulder pads can spread quickly and weaken protective areas. We restitch using heavy-duty thread, reinforced patterns, and professional machines designed for thick materials. The repair doesn’t just hold — it restores the gear’s original strength so it can handle game-level abuse again.

Panel & Shell Repairs
– When fabric panels rip or the outer shell of pants or pads wears thin, we cut away the damaged area and replace it with durable materials that match the strength and flexibility of the original. Our goal is to make the patch blend cleanly so the repaired gear looks right and performs like it’s new.

Glove Stitching & Patch Work
– Beyond full repalming, gloves often develop rips along seams or holes in the outer shell. We restitch or rebuild those weak points, reinforcing the structure while keeping the natural feel of the glove. Every repair is finished cleanly, so it’s hard to tell anything was ever damaged.

Goalie Pad Repair
– Goalie Pads take constant impact and wear from slides, puck strikes, and post contact. We replace torn or worn strapping, rebuild damaged bindings, and patch high-wear sliding surfaces to restore protection and mobility. Every repair is reinforced to withstand the demands of a goalie’s constant movement.

Zipper & Strap Replacement
– Broken zippers, Velcro tabs, or elastic straps don’t mean you need new gear. We remove the failed components and install brand-new replacements that are equal or better than the originals. Each strap or closure is anchored securely, so you can rely on it game after game.

Padding Reinforcement
– Over time, padding shifts, compresses, or tears away from its anchor points. We reattach padding exactly where it belongs and reinforce stress areas to prevent it from loosening again. The result is consistent protection and comfort, without bulky add-ons or awkward fixes.

Custom Modifications
– Every player has unique preferences. Whether you need extra reinforcement in a high-wear area, looser movement in a restrictive zone, or adjustments to improve comfort, we customize your equipment with stitching and modifications tailored to your needs. The work blends seamlessly, so it feels like your gear was built that way.

Happy Customers

“The stitching on my pads had started to come apart and the seams were opening up. I was worried they wouldn’t hold through another game. The Hockey Doctor restitched everything so cleanly that you’d never know they were damaged. The pads feel solid again and I’m back in the crease with full confidence.”

“During a tournament, I ripped the crotch in my hockey pants and I thought I was done for the weekend. The Hockey Doctor fixed them on the spot and had me back on the ice within an hour. I couldn’t believe how fast and professional the repair was — lifesaver service!”
