NHL Mini Hockey Set with 2 Knee Sticks and Foam Ball - Official Team

In this review the Franklin Sports NHL Mini Hockey Set is evaluated as a compact, indoor introduction to hockey for young children and families. The bottom line: it is best for toddlers and early elementary kids who want a safe, low-impact way to learn stick skills and have team pride, since the set includes a mini goal, two knee hockey sticks and a soft foam ball so play can start right away. The reviewer found the set easy to assemble and ideal for rainy-day indoor play, while noting the scaled size may fit younger children best.

Key Features

• Complete kit: The set ships with a mini goal, two knee hockey sticks and a foam hockey ball so you can start playing immediately without hunting for parts.
• Official NHL designs: Available in authentic logos and team colors from 24 NHL teams to let kids play and cheer for their favorite squad.
• Beginner friendly: Soft foam ball and small sticks make it easy and safe for toddlers to practice passing and shooting indoors.
• Indoor use: Designed for indoor play so families can enjoy knee hockey without risk of damage to floors or furnishings.
• Family play: Two sticks allow head-to-head games and quick set ups for siblings, parents or friends to join in.

Who It's For

The set is ideal for parents of children aged 3 and up who want a toy that teaches basic hockey movement and hand-eye coordination in a safe indoor format. It works well for families that follow an NHL team and want a small way to let kids play as their favorite players without large equipment.

Shoppers who need full-size junior sticks or older kids looking for more realistic, durable gear should look elsewhere, as the compact scale and foam ball are optimized for young beginners and light household play rather than competitive or outdoor street hockey.
