About us

For nearly 40 years, the Blong family has been at the heart of New Zealand’s hockey community. What began with Ross Blong importing gear for his son Darren and his friends has evolved into Centre Ice, New Zealand’s premier inline and ice hockey store.

Centre Ice isn’t just about selling gear; it’s about fostering a love for hockey. Our team is deeply embedded in the hockey world, from NZIHL players and social league participants to coaches and families. This strong connection ensures that we understand the needs of every player, offering expert advice and top-quality equipment.

Our staff members are not just employees; they are hockey enthusiasts dedicated to helping you find the best gear to elevate your game. Their extensive experience guarantees that you’re always in good hands at Centre Ice.

Centre Ice is committed to promoting both inline and ice hockey in New Zealand. We contribute to the sport’s growth through sponsorships, free vouchers, and other initiatives, creating a positive impact within the community.

At Centre Ice, we strive to create a welcoming and friendly environment for everyone who walks through our doors. Join us and be part of New Zealand’s vibrant hockey community.
