Pink Mission OPS

[DarkStar50 679]

I just had the Mission rep in the shop to show me the new OPS PINK stick! It is a Z-1 with a PINK paint job. We no longer have womens/girls travel hockey in our building so my market is gone. Would any of the guys play with a PINK OPS?

its in the general hockey discussion forum

and to answer the question no I would not use a pink stick.

I have a lot of women/girl customers, the last thing they want is Pink. On the other hand, I sell a lot of pink tape, laces and taci-mac grips to the "boys". Some just have to be different. It's a fad, I wouldn't stock many of the Pink Sticks though.

I would play with them any time!!!! they were one selling on eay but 250cnd for a Price point OPS is way too much..

But i use pink tape for 4-5 month now...but i wouldn't use pink lace on my skate but would use a pink stick anytime!!!

All the Emo kiddies around here use pink tape/laces. Not for me, thank you kindly.

Pink tape? What what?

I saw a pink Z-1 floating around ebay if anyone is interested.

It's also the current "Big Contsest" on missionhockey.com.

I entered...but if I was to win...pretty sure it'd be up here in the Sell section.

it more a way to be different and flashy than other..!

the market would be to juniors and intermedietes....if you stock one or two the kids coming in for sharpening might be brave enough or want to be cool and buy one. then the whole team might want one, but its hit or miss. i would use a pink stick if it was the perfect stick for me. and oh, if i was about 5 inches and 40 pounds bigger.

I'd use a pink stick, maybe not a Z-1, but if the Hex-1 or M-1 came in pink, i'd use one for sure.

So Mission is actually making a pink Z-1 now? Or are we talking about the contest sticks?

[DarkStar50 679]

The rep is getting back to me next week with availability. These are in the new roller hockey catalog.

I agree completely. We've done extensive market research on women's hockey and the consensus is that they want to be treated "just like one of the guys." Regardless of which demographic these sticks cater to, I think they will be popular because they are different and they stand out from the rest.

i disagree im female player and i want a pink stick soooooo badly!! but then i play ice hockey with 1 pink lace and 1 green lace, and pink tape on my stick, and pink socks at training. i rekon its best to stand out personally!

[Chadd 916]

I find that the girls playing in gender specific programs like pink gear. It's the girls that play with the boys that often try to hide their gender and most often want to blend in.

I want a Pink stick..... we'll never get them in England though.... weve only just got stealths for sale here. we never get any really high end stuff for ages after its released because its so expensive ! A stealth in England costs about £180 which equals to about $325!

i must be the exception then... the only womens team i play on is the one i coach. i play in 3-4 lads roller leagues and mens ice hockey here in the UK. i just like to stand out! ask is right about gettin one over here tho....itd be like impossible!!!
