VANT / 001 — In development
Built forWhat'sNext.What's next.
Performance first. Identity never second.
VANT is developing a new generation of high-performance hockey equipment — engineered around feel, speed and the players pushing the game forward.
The game evolves. So should the equipment.
VANT was created around a simple idea: hockey equipment shouldn't have to choose between performance and identity.
We're developing equipment designed to perform at a high level while bringing a new visual language to the game.
01 / Development
The first VANT stick.
Our first composite hockey stick is currently in development.
We're evaluating different constructions, kick profiles, shaft geometries, balance characteristics and blade responses to determine what earns the VANT name.
We won't release it until it earns the name.
Every prototype is evaluated for weight, balance, release, feel and durability before a final platform is selected.
01 / Mass
Mass
Reducing unnecessary weight without giving up confidence or stability.
02 / Balance
Balance
A stick should feel light in motion — not simply look light on a scale.
03 / Load
Load
Testing different loading characteristics to find the response we want.
04 / Feel
Feel
Blade response and puck feedback matter as much as headline specifications.
02 / Testing
Specs get you so far. Feel decides the rest.
Before VANT's first stick reaches production, different prototypes will be tested and compared on the ice.
Only after testing will the final platform be selected.
- Weight01 / 07
Measured first. Felt second.
- Balance02 / 07
Mass placement matters as much as total weight.
- Release03 / 07
How quickly the shaft loads and recovers.
- Puck feel04 / 07
Feedback through the blade and hands.
- Accuracy05 / 07
Repeatable response and control.
- Blade response06 / 07
Stability, rebound and puck feedback.
- Durability07 / 07
Performance has to survive real hockey.
03 / VANT
Performance shouldn't look ordinary.
Hockey equipment has always been performance equipment. We think it can be more.
VANT is being built around high-performance equipment and a stronger visual identity — creating equipment players want to use and want to be seen using.
Performance.Identity.VANT.
Recognisable from across the rink.
VANT equipment will be designed to have its own identity. Not louder for the sake of being loud.
Distinctive. Considered. Recognisably VANT.
Be first on the ice.

Want to test VANT?
We're building a group of players interested in testing future VANT equipment.
A new name in hockey.
VANT is an independent hockey brand being built from Australia with a global outlook.
We're starting with the piece of equipment players interact with every second they're on the ice: the stick.
From there, the goal is simple — build products that deserve the name.
From Australia. For the game.
Starting in Australia. Built with the global game in mind.
