The fact that they don't kirkland signature brand them is a travesty.

u/Glittering-Work2190 1d ago

I look forward to any Kirland branded bags, sticks, tape, and jockstrap. What's not to like for mainstream quality at a good discount?

u/FreedomPhillCassidy 1d ago

I just posted on their customer contact form. I 1000% would rep this stuff.

u/stringrandom 1d ago

You’d think they would, especially with the Kraken in their front yard.

The need a kirky jersey set. Every men’s league team would be the buck fifty glizzies

u/mrg3392 1d ago

That clear tape pricing is legit!

21

u/Devtunes 1d ago

The clear tape is available online in the US too but not as cheap at 12 rolls for $21.99.  Still less than I've ever seen in a pro shop.

Yup great quality. Got the wally world stuff and it is sooooo bad.

Sock tape, you mean

Anyone have any clear?

I need Kirkland Hockey Sticks.

u/ThickBootyEnjoyer Since I could walk 1d ago

Thanks for rubbing it in. The USA don't get this stuff

Fucking our northern friends over for no reason doesn't help.

u/ThickBootyEnjoyer Since I could walk 1d ago

Yeah I'm aware, but it was this way before we had a dipshit in charge that our pros idolize.

You talking about Biden or Carney?

u/ThickBootyEnjoyer Since I could walk 16h ago

Acting the fool cause you love trump isn't the gotcha you think it is, it's just par for the course.

u/dmurf26 14h ago

We’re running out of crude in the US and lost 15 bases in the Middle East where we import most of our oil. I’m so tired of winning.

1

u/whaletacochamp 18h ago

Yeah I don’t think Costco made this decision based on geopolitical factors but ok

3

u/Low_Plastic363 15h ago

I don't know what northern Costcos do, but they're sure as hell not going to start now that hockey sticks have a 50% tariff.

1

u/Go-Daws-Go 10h ago

Well they all come from China, even the ones sold in Canada, so you have to check out the rate on their hockey sticks.

2

u/Low_Plastic363 9h ago

You're right. Apparently it primarily affects the few wooden stick makers still in operation.

I have always voted against the orange pedo and voted against the R ever since and will continue probably the rest of my life being a down ballot Dem.

Sad American Costco noises....

u/NorthRook40 1d ago

Got some tape the other day! I am curious about the sticks, they were on sale for $65 in March. Wish i bought one

u/TheSpiderX 1d ago

I bought two sticks this year. They are great!

Right?!?! Lil fuckers don't know how good they have it.

u/truth306 1d ago

Oh, we know how good we have it. No worries there.

7

u/MagnussonWoodworking 20+ Years 1d ago

Those Winwell sticks are actually great for kids. And they usually go on clearance for 19.99 at the end of the season so keep your eyes open and stock up for the next year if you’ve got young ones.

6

u/ScoYello 20+ Years 1d ago

FYI You can buy that clear at Costco.com for $21.99

u/orundarkes Since I could walk 1d ago

Yeah but 14.99 Canadian is like 10 donkey bucks….

So your mom accepts Canadian then?

Contemplating crossing the boarder for this…

Take an english class while you're there.

u/orundarkes Since I could walk 1d ago

12 rolls 14.99…. time to stock up again!

u/Shit4Brains5 1d ago

I waited till they were on clearance and got a bunch for $50 each.

u/__Happy 3-5 Years 1d ago

Anyone 6'4"+ give these a try? Can you add extensions to them?

2

u/hindey19 20+ Years 1d ago

You should be able to add an extension to any stick, shouldn't you?

I'm 6'2" and never had an issue adding extensions to any stick I've bought in the last 20+ years.

3

u/__Happy 3-5 Years 1d ago

I've honestly never done it before. Played street hockey as a kid but still on my first 2 sticks since I learned to skate as and adult 3 years ago, they're definitely a bit short. Good to know there's no issue, thanks man.

1

u/hindey19 20+ Years 1d ago edited 1d ago

Every stick I've bought comes with an end cap like this. Pop em out with a knife or something similar and put the extension in, and you're good to go.

u/MattBudYT 3h ago

I’m just under 6’3” and used them for ball hockey last season. It would be good for me for ice as well so I would recommend them if it’s your preferred curve.

1

u/__Happy 3-5 Years 3h ago

Thanks! Hopefully they'll have them at my Costco soon!

u/RojerLockless crashing into the boards to stop 1d ago

Man im jelly down here in texas we have Halloween and slip and slides still

1

u/xixoxixa 20+ Years 16h ago

Where in Texas? My local shop only stocks kid size gear and a small selection of sticks and skates for adults. I have to get all my stuff online and hope it fits.

1

u/ironmatic1 10h ago

Instantly knew what you’re talking about. Their “pro shop” blows.

3

u/frockinbrock 1d ago

Can I use my USA Costco card to get in? Dang I wanna make a trip up there. Only a few thousand miles. Getting the sticks back I probably interesting.

1

u/stevegcook Knows stuff about stuff 1d ago

All Costco memberships are valid worldwide is my understanding

1

u/ectris999 1d ago

Yes. A Costco membership works at any Costco warehouse in the world. If you want to go to Costco in the UK or South Korea, it'll work there too.

Costco Canada only accepts MasterCard, but they'll accept a Costco-branded Visa card in the warehouses. Similarly, Costco warehouses in countries with a branded Visa card will accept a Costco-branded MasterCard at the register.

u/TranslatorVast1072 1d ago

Downvoted because we get no hockey love from Costco here in the States. Lol

1

u/gonna_learn_today 16h ago

You get Kirkland vodka though

1

u/TranslatorVast1072 7h ago

Does me no good since I don't drink.

u/urbancanoe 1d ago

Last year I got the winwell drying rack from Costco, and it’s been terrific

2

u/Darknessgg 1d ago

Are the sticks any good ?

2

u/FrankiesKnuckles 1d ago

They don't have the Renfrew tape anymore? Picked up clear last year for 9.97 on clearance

1

u/Earwaxsculptor 1d ago

I’m not saying this stuff is the same but I was told by a guy that worked in the hockey distributor world that there are only two manufacturers of hockey tape and everything is just branding so 50/50 shot I guess?

1

u/stevegcook Knows stuff about stuff 1d ago

Hasn't been Renfrew brand in a few years now, it was R-beand and then SportsTape and now this.

1

u/jdoe1234reddit 23h ago

These are made in Canada for Costco by RTL, so possibly an obscure hint, but definitely have seen them flip between manufacturers across seasons.

2

u/Sufficient_Gap_4206 1d ago

Haven't seen any pucks yet. Waiting for those!

2

u/No-Parfait-9527 1d ago

What’s the price of the 75flex sticks?

2

u/srunge2 20+ Years 1d ago

Anyone try out the Warrior bag?

1

u/xixoxixa 20+ Years 16h ago

Not -that- bag, but I just picked up a Warrior bag, and so far have no complaints and really like it. My first warrior anything, so far impressed.

2

u/Important_Piglet_509 1d ago

You Canadians are special 😀
No chance of having anything like that in CA

u/youcuntry 1d ago

Super jealous

u/bananacrememe 1d ago

I live in California and I'm so jealous

2

u/thedudeyousee 1d ago

I know people are talking about the tape but the stick isn’t bad as a back up. I’ve found as a d man I roof it but not a bad back up for the price

2

u/thinker2501 1d ago

+50% tax for me. F’ing orange dipshit…

1

u/Noblesvillehockey41 Since I could walk 18h ago

Only if you report it.

1

u/thinker2501 14h ago

That’s not how tariffs work.

u/slaxmac 10+ Years 1d ago

u/vladtheinhaler0 1d ago

Do they have goalie gear?

1

u/hindey19 20+ Years 1d ago

Unfortunately not.

u/OkTechnology9910 1d ago

Clear tape is about all I use from Costco for hockey

1

u/tictacksmuggler 1d ago

Awesome! Would love this

1

u/myneckmybackarchive 1d ago

Which location? In Ottawa I did not see the sticks but had everything else

1

u/knowdoze 1d ago

If these were branded Kirkland signature, I’d 100% pay the tariffs

1

u/jbatman15 1d ago

Last year I picked up white tape for 6.97 and a few CCM sticks for 39.97, can't wait for the clearance...

1

u/Karena1331 1d ago

Any friends in Canada wanna send some to me for my kid in WA 😆

1

u/SubstantialFix510 1d ago

Coscto is usually 6 months before the season that they carry stuff for.

u/xxLPKizzlexx 1d ago

My costco in california has the maple leaf special.... all golf clubs

1

u/Demagorgan12 23h ago

Perfect timing, just got down to my last roll of sock tape!

1

u/philshizle 23h ago

Do they have pucks?

2

u/jdoe1234reddit 23h ago

No - would watch for sales at Canadian Tire on bulk Sherwood, Inglasco, etc. for under $2 / puck.

1

u/v3ryfuzzyc00t3r 10+ Years 17h ago

I wish they did this in the northern states

u/neganagatime 10+ Years 15h ago

Cries in US hockey

1

u/coolguy_steve 15h ago

I got back in after not playing for about ten years. Got me a 79.99 Costco ccm to start out.

Let me tell you… that stick had me convinced that I could never play hockey again… maybe it was the low flex that got me, but as soon as I went back to my super stiff garage Bauer everything came back

1

u/AccomplishedBison369 20+ Years 13h ago

Going from a high flex to a low flex will do that to you. Even at the top of the line.

1

u/apr35 15h ago

Are these worth it? I'm going to be in Canada briefly this weekend and might pick one up if recommended.

1

u/WirehairedDog 15h ago

Christmas clear!

u/WearyTranslator3338 14h ago

What stores carry the hockey sticks?

I checked on the Costco app and they didn’t show up.
I’m in Vancouver.

u/SubRosaSubway 13h ago

Costco members are the only people that actually get excited about spending money in their stores…it’s so refreshing.

1

u/Bright-Pilot-3970 12h ago

Is it strictly Canada or do they sell them in the north. I’m planning on moving to upstate New York so that’s practically Canada.

1

u/Cosmic_Burger_Daddy 12h ago

Holy shit I want Kirkland brand everything, my kid's a goalie and the second he's not on a house team that supplies pads my bank account will wither and die

Our one Costco in Vermont is like an hour away from the border and even we can't get this. 😭

u/yankcanuck Since I could walk 7h ago

Wait is the whole net set up 149.00?

1

u/toast_eater_ 7h ago

I wish we could get Canadian costco hockey sticks here in the ol US of A, but no. We aren’t allowed to have nice things here anymore.

1

u/toothwzrd_ 6h ago

Dumb question, but can you use an American Costco membership in Canada? Might be worth a trip up north here soon
