LANCTÔT TO DISTRIBUTE ROCKETGRIP IN NORTH AMERICA

Montréal, February 24, 2025 – Lanctôt Ltd. is pleased to announce a new distribution agreement with RocketGrip, bringing its innovative hockey stick grips to market. Effective immediately, Lanctôt will oversee the distribution of RocketGrip products, ensuring Canadian and American players at all levels to have access to these customizable and high-performance sports grips.

RocketGrip was founded with a mission to revolutionize the way hockey players approach stick customization. Traditional hockey tape has long been a staple of the game, but RocketGrip offers a modern alternative that eliminates glue-related glove wear while allowing players to create a grip that suits their individual preferences. Using heat-activated technology, RocketGrip moulds to the player's specifications, providing a tailored fit that enhances control and durability.

“RocketGrip is an exciting addition to our Team Sports division,” said Diane Lanctôt, President of Lanctôt Ltd. “Its innovative design and customizability align perfectly with our commitment to offering top-tier products to hockey players across North America.”

Frank Henry, Director of Lanctôt’s Team Sports division, added, “We see significant growth potential for RocketGrip in North America. The ability for players to personalize their grips without the drawbacks of traditional tape makes this product a game changer. We are eager to introduce it to our network of retailers and hockey communities.”

“Lanctôt’s expertise in the sporting goods industry and its commitment to expand it’s platform in the hockey segment make it the ideal partner for RocketGrip to build on the established strength of our social media footprint in the USA and Canada,” said Aksels Zingulis, Co-founder of RocketGrip. “We look forward to working together to bring our grips to hockey  players nationwide in addition to baseball/softball players  and other sports category participants in the future”.

Lanctôt’s Team Sports division currently represents several leading brands, including Wilson Baseball, LS Slugger, DeMarini, EvoShield, Atec Sports, Louisville/TPS Hockey and now RocketGrip.
