About Rebellion Hockey

The story of Rebellion hockey

Kent Bengtsson was a hockey star in Sweden back in the 70s. He liked to win. (He still does.) When he came skating towards the cage, the opponents’ supporters started to chant:
“What do we think of Bengtsson?”
“Bad”
“How bad?”
“Bad as hell!”
Kent Bengtsson was feared on the ice. He was huge and fearless. After several years as a pro, he hung up the skates.  Taking a break he didn’t think about hockey for some years. But then questions began to pop up in his mind: how could skating get faster and easier, saving energy? So he started to experiment with special steel. He developed it for years. And one day he got the solution, a runner with three blades. He took the new runner and went up to the local shoe manufacturer, Peter Geisler. Peter, who never even had seen a hockey game, said “that’s a real good idea Kent, couldn’t be that difficult. I’ve been doing safety shoes my whole life, couldn’t be that different.” He was wrong. Now after ten years we have the new skate. The Rebellion skate. A combination of hockey-star thinking and Swedish perseverance.

Today Rebellion Hockey have their head quarters in Örebro, Sweden and a branch in Midland, Canada and develop not only skates but sticks, gloves, protective gear and more. Rebellion knows real hockey.
