Twenty Years on the Ice.
One Uncompromising Standard.
“In competitive hockey, games are won in the inches. Tape-to-tape precision, relentless locker-room discipline, and zero tolerance for cutting corners. When I hung up my competitive skates after two decades, I brought that exact obsession to hand-pouring clean soy candles.”
For twenty years, our founder lived inside the rink—from dawn practices on sub-zero ice to high-stakes tournament finals. On the ice, success is governed by relentless preparation: blade sharpness calibrated to the millimeter, stick flex dialed for explosive release, and total accountability to the locker room.
When transitioning from competitive athletics to artisan craft, the goal was not to make ordinary candles with synthetic fragrances or cheap paraffin wax imported from overseas refineries. Instead, Puck & Wick was forged in Loudoun County, Virginia to create luxury home fragrances and athlete gear care that uphold collegiate and professional standards of durability, clean air, and aesthetic refinement.
Every batch is hand-poured in small volumes, temp-checked with digital infrared probes, and cured for a full 14 days before boxing. Even our signature $98 Exclusive Boxes carry that heritage forward—priced in tribute to our founder’s very first competitive hockey jersey number (#98). Because whether you are stepping onto fresh sheet ice or striking a match in your living room, Quality Control is always #1.
Every vessel bears a handwritten batch stamp and individual founder inspection seal. Tested to guarantee an even melt pool without tunneling or black soot.
