The Lettermen Story

Lettermen Sports is an independent, family-owned hockey shop in Blaine and Plymouth, Minnesota. For more than forty years we have outfitted players, teams and associations across the Twin Cities with the gear they play in and the apparel they wear to cheer them on.

1982

How it started

Lettermen started as a dream. In 1982 Ron Haenze, a hockey coach, decided to get into the hockey business. Over the years he tried a lot of different things and was involved in a lot of different sports, but hockey was always his passion, and it has been at the heart of Lettermen ever since.

Lettermen is still a family business. Ron's daughter, Amy Schumacher, leads it today as our CEO and COO, from a 25,000 square foot store in Blaine and a second store in Plymouth.

We decided a few years ago that we would rather be great at one thing than try to be everything to everybody.

Our focus

Great at one thing: hockey

Most of the custom apparel we make serves the hockey community, so we chose to put everything into it. From the gear on the wall to the jerseys, hoodies and team bags we decorate for associations, we strive to be excellent in every area of hockey.

Our custom team apparel service is, in our opinion, one of the best there is.

Decorated in our own shop

Screen printing, embroidery and digital printing all happen on site, in our own production shop. Doing our own decorating lets us control the work from start to finish.

We have put an enormous amount of our resources into the latest technology, and our staff is great at learning new processes that make decorating garments more efficient while keeping the quality really high.

What we do

We're a very welcoming group here. We strive to treat every customer the same way and give them the best level of customer service possible.

Shop local

Giving back to our community

We want our stores to be places people love to come into, with knowledgeable staff and a family-owned feel.

Shopping locally is a really meaningful way to make a difference in the community around you. Because we are part of this community, we can give back in very personal ways, through the players, teams, associations and families we work with every day.
