We specialize in building long-lasting, high-quality ice hockey goaltending gear. As we continue to get comfortable in our Buffalo, NY manufacturing location, we're slowly adding items and resources to help goalies. If you haven't seen it, check out the tech talk section of our website where we talk about things like skate profiling and toe ties.
We have also new products and services including Bladetech steel, custom pro-sharp profiling and new Simmons toe ties. Previously only available for the Ultralight line, our updated elastic strapping system is now available for the retail 1000 series leg pads. Below are a few reference images on a set of 34 double break pads.

Simmons Hockey, formerly Don Simmons Sports manufactures pro-level protective equipment for ice hockey goalies. We specialize in long-lasting, high-quality gear for adults. For more than 40 years, Simmons has proudly provided NHL Quality goalie equipment at a significant value. The new Simmons ownership team was specifically selected due to our commitment to continue the great tradition of Simmons quality, performance and value.
When it comes to chest protection there are a number of opinions. Many people who play a blocker style of goalie feel that a loose-fitting chest protector will take up more space. At Simmons we believe that every chest protector should allow goalies to move freely without having to worry about impact from a puck.
We believe that goalie sticks should last, which is why we only carry sticks with our name on them. When you play with a Simmons goal stick you can be sure that it's a high quality stick built for durability and performance. The sticks you see on the website here are foam core carbon composites. If you're interested in helping us test an ultra-lite custom spec full carbon composite stick, please contact us.

Our masks feater a longer chin and improved coverage for the back of your head. Hand laminated fiberglass with multiple complete layers of carbon and Kevlar covering the entire inside of the mask in separate layers.

Hit them up on Facebook messenger to find out turnaround time on custom builds. They were very responsive and with an unbelievably quick build time.
I ordered a Chest Protector with custom strapping and a custom catch glove.
About two weeks later I received an email with pictures of my new equipment to "sign off" on and get them shipped.
Quality is excellent.
Protection is on par with "pro builds" from others.
I would absolutely do business with them again.
Don't be afraid of the smaller builders, it's their name on the door they care about the customer.

Fantastic experience with Simmons Pro 1 goalie pants. I’ve been using them for 18 years! I bought them after playing in college to play in all levels of local ice beer leagues. Buckle broke off in the first week of play but it has always fit me well and never let me down in protection. There is some expected wear inside the legs on the 5-hole squeeze pads, but I’ve never had to modify or repair them due to damage at all. They have held up ridiculously well. Fantastic construction, great quality product!

The Simmons experience is second to none. As a goalie who faces a regular lineup of former pro, junior, and college players I need to know that my gear is locked in and will give me optimal performance. This is why I use Simmons Hockey. Whether it is a minor tweak here or a major alteration there the guys always take care of me and treat me as if I am a pro goalie. They truly cater to any need you might have as a customer. Even when I know they are slammed with orders they take the time to treat me as if I am their only concern. I cannot rave about the experience enough and that is just on the

Completely the best customer service ever. I have learned even more about my equipment and more options for better care. I am also a Veteran, and they do offer a military discount unlike any other store. They fixed my steak, A member at Pure hockey had sharpened my steal at a 17’ radius, and a 11’ radius. along with a very Visible hight difference between the steal. I had my steal cut to the quad 4 and I am absolutely sold!! Please if your reading this do not even take another second to think about going somewhere else! you won’t regret it I swear!

Hey this is the best local place to go if you want your skates taken care of. I got new steel and a new profile that’s worked out great. If you want to skate fast efficient and consistent let John sharpen your skates. He’s also got basic necessities for your hockey 🏒 needs. He specializes in basic and complex repairs of equipment. And if you’re a Goalie, then that’s a whole other story. Give Simmons a try.

I have used Simmons several times now for all my sons goalie equipment. Each time I am happier than the last and most importantly my son loves Simmons product. The people are very easy to work with and they are very concerned about you being happy with their product. They have custom designed several sets of pads and gloves for my son’s and I have to say the compliments we get are incredible. People can not believe how well these pads are made. Simmons stands 100% behind their products. I honestly have no idea why anyone would buy a pad off a shelf for top dollar when you can have a custom set
