FORCE ADD DIRECTOR OF EQUIPMENT

The Findlay Force are excited to announce we have hired Keegan McMindes as our Director of Equipment for the 26-27 season!

Keegan “Keegs” brings over two decades of experience in sharpening and edge geometry to the Force, hailing from Battle Ground, Indiana. Although his opportunities to play hockey were limited growing up, Keegs has always had a passion for the sport. His journey into skate sharpening and equipment management began in Harstad, Norway, while serving in the United States Marine Corps. Where he leaned and observed a hockey shop in realtime.

After relocating his family to Ohio, Keegs established a pro shop in his garage, eventually founding Keegs Hockey. Now located within the Battery Hockey Academy in Plain City, Ohio, his shop services thousands of players worldwide. Keegs Hockey is more than just a full-service pro shop—it’s a research and development hub focused on enhancing player performance and injury prevention. In addition to his duties with the Force, Keegs will still serve as the owner and CEO of Keegs Hockey, where his innovation and expertise continues to shape the future of hockey gear.

Keegan works with a lot of NCAA and pro players along with players in the NHL.

Lets welcome Keegan to the Force Family!
