Hockey is often celebrated as one of the most exhilarating team sports, but the price tag attached to modern equipment can be a major barrier for many families.
In Central New York, a small workshop called Fixin’ Twigs is changing that narrative by offering professional repairs of broken composite sticks for a flat fee of no more than $75, a fraction of the cost of a brand‑new model.
The shop, founded by Justin Leubner, leverages years of experience on the ice to restore damaged shafts to near‑factory condition, allowing players like Jack Leubner to continue skating without the financial sting of constant replacements.
Player Endorsements
Jack Leubner, a young forward from Camillus, has tested the repaired sticks in practice and says he cannot distinguish them from brand‑new ones, while former Syracuse Crunch captain Gabe Dumont, who once tried the service, praised the quality and durability.
The service not only extends the life of expensive equipment but also supports the broader goal of keeping hockey accessible, especially for youth programs that rely on affordable gear.
