ABOUT US
ChalkTalk SPORTS was founded in 1995 in Connecticut by a family immersed in the youth sports world.
With three sons deeply involved in hockey and lacrosse, Julie—the mom behind it all—spent countless hours on the sidelines, in rinks, and on the road traveling to games and tournaments.
Inspired by the energy, dedication, and camaraderie of the sports her family loved, she began designing apparel and products that captured the spirit of the hockey and lacrosse lifestyle her sons so passionately lived.
What started in the family garage—hand-packing orders of sports-themed shirts and gear—quickly grew into something bigger.
Driven by a mission to celebrate the heart of sports and the athletes who play them, ChalkTalk SPORTS became a brand that connects families, teams, and fans through thoughtful, high-quality products.
Today, we’re proud to remain a family-owned and operated business, creating apparel and gifts that speak to the soul of sport.
From hockey moms and lacrosse dads to dedicated players, coaches, and fans, we’re here to help you rep your sport and live the lifestyle.
We believe sports build more than just strong bodies—they build strong bonds, character, and lifelong memories. And we’re honored to be part of your journey.
