TESTIMONIALS:

“I helped with the design details of Athena Gear, and am thrilled to see hockey-specific apparel for women! The custom Soft Gear uses high-tech fabrics and is so comfortable!”  Jane Lagace is an assistant coach with the NAIT Ooks women’s hockey program. As a player she’s won many awards at national championships as a member of the Edmonton Chimos and won gold with Canada ’s national team.

“It’s always been difficult finding the right base layer product for women. Often I had to resort to men’s tee-shirts because I needed the extra length in the arms and body, however the shirt would be too big everywhere else. It was a great experience to be involved in the design of Athena Gear’s great fitting Long Sleeve Tee, with extra long arms and body, and boxer shorts made for girls!” Marlow Kulak has played with the Edmonton Chimos and the UofA Pandas Women’s Hockey teams.

“The apparel that is provided for us is usually designed for a man’s body and has high waistlines. I assisted Athena Gear in designing a spandex short with a low-rise waistline. They are so comfortable!” Sasha Andrews represented Canada at the 2002 FIFA U-19 Women’s World Championships and is currently playing soccer for the Vancouver Whitecaps.

“Sports specific apparel made for women by women! I have tried Athena Gear and am impressed with the design and fit, it is so comfortable.” Jayna Hefford, 2002, 2006 and 2010 Olympic Gold Medalist, NWHL Championship Gold Medalist and current Brampton Thunder player and summer hockey camp instructor.
