Roustan Hockey makes wood ice hockey sticks in Brantford, Ontario under the Christian, Northland and True North names, plus foam-core goalie sticks and plastic-bladed street sticks.
Even if somebody buys one or two or five or 10 sticks, and it's under $100, they're going to be affected by the tariffsSource: ttnews.com, Oct 8, 2025
Roustan makes about 400,000 wood hockey sticks a year with 15 people in Brantford and sends roughly 100,000 of them to the United States, where ice hockey sticks (HTS 9506.99.25) have carried a 50% duty since August 22, 2026. The quote is older than that measure: owner Graeme Roustan told Transport Topics in October 2025, under the earlier round of US tariffs, that even a single-stick order gets caught.

Even if somebody buys one or two or five or 10 sticks, and it's under $100, they're going to be affected by the tariffs, so the jury is still out on how that's going to impact business,

Ahead of the August 2026 Section 338 duty, owner Graeme Roustan told Transport Topics that even the smallest US stick orders would get caught by tariffs on Canadian goods.
