MUTUAL AID AND SUPPORT

Double Hockey Stix is a brand and community of action. When we see injustices in the world, we want to help correct them. Will we be right all the time? No. Can we take action all the time? No, not realistically. But we can help others connect and learn about the causes we support to continue giving back.

Our Current Main Causes (Aug 19, 2026):

•Demand an official Abuse Policy in the NHL Rulebook
•Support/Resources for sexual assault victims and survivors
•Land Back & Indigenous Sovereignty, Hockey as an Indigenous sport
•Black Lives Matter; Racism in Hockey Culture; Uplifting and supporting Black hockey players/leagues
•Free Palestine, Sudan, Congo - no one is free until we all are free
•Mutual Aid Support for local Southern California, Minnesota, and New Jersey residents impacted by ICE RAIDS and concentration camps.

These are the causes we always stand for and most often offer benefit items on our website for. 

Here are links to the above and other causes, causes we've supported in the past, small businesses, artists, and advocates we support:
