About Nova Hockey

The Story Behind Nova Hockey As kids growing up in poverty, the Beaudin brothers couldn’t afford to play organized hockey — so they invented their own. At 8 years old, the eldest brother placed open scissors on the floor as a goal, used a battery as a goalie, a shirt button as the puck, and cardboard strips as sticks. That simple setup became their favorite game, evolving through the years with new homemade versions. Life moved on, the game was forgotten — until they each had sons of their own. Wanting to share that piece of childhood, they searched online, convinced it already existed. It didn’t. So they built it again. But this time, for real. The net was now a scaled plastic goal. The stick was engineered for control and powerful shots. The once-static goalie became a fully articulated figure, operated by the players. The result? A fast-paced indoor hockey game that feels like real hockey, playable anywhere. Kids love it. Parents get nostalgic. Some call it “the ping-pong of hockey.” Nova Hockey is more than a game — it’s proof that creativity, family, and passion can build something unforgettable.Read their story
