Hockey Guys by Kaskey Kids are high-quality sports action figures that encourage the imaginary play of children. You probably played with action figures as a child. Sports have been a part of kids' lives forever. Kaskey Kids combines both of these interests to inspire countless hours of entertainment through pretend hockey play. Simply slide together your rink walls and place your mat inside the boards and your hockey game can begin! With a shiny slick surface that simulates ice, goals, and an oversize puck, kids will have lots of fun passing and scoring goals!
Hockey Guys puts children in the midst of a hockey sports scenario of their own creation, promoting fantasy play and imagination. As in real hockey, there's strategy, critical thinking, team spirit, and conflict resolution involved during play. Many children prefer (with their parents' blessing) to make up their own fun with Hockey Guys over electronic toys, videos, and movies. There's no expensive game box or complicated set of instructions---just pure fun! Don't be surprised if you hear your child calling play by play, while making up a hockey game in his head. What a great aid to learning position names and locations! Hockey coaches will appreciate using Hockey Guys as a training tool.

Hockey Guys has players for both teams—forwards, centers, defenders, and goalies. Additionally, you child will appreciate the referee, puck, two goals, and a realistic rink with walls. There are no rules, directions, or sounds, but lots of imagination. Your little hockey fan can store Hockey Guys in the stackable container with attached lid and handle, and take them on the road!
A note to help you enjoy Hockey Guys: The hockey mat you will receive will have some creases when you take it out of the box. As it sits out on a hard, flat surface, the creases will smooth out. If you prefer to keep your mat smooth and do not want to fold it back up after each use to avoid any creasing, just roll up the mat lengthwise and slide it under the handle of the box.
HISTORY OF KASKEY KIDS
Kaskey Kids was founded by Bruce and Christy Kaskey in 2001 with the purpose of creating simple sports action figures.
As a mother of four sports-loving children, Christy saw that her children and their friends were happiest and most enthusiastic when sports were involved. 
Playing in the park, in the backyard, or at the beach kept everyone active and occupied, but when playtime was brought inside, none of the traditional toys held the Kaskey Kids' interest.
Christy took a look back at her own childhood for some inspiration and could vividly remember her two brothers engaging in hours of imaginary play with simple action figures like Army Men, Super Heroes and Cowboys and Indians. After a few years with her house filling up with every bucket or bag of action figures, animals or cars, Christy realized that a simple box of sports action figures could be the key.
Following an exhaustive search and realizing that the perfect sports guys did not exist, Christy and Bruce went about designing and marketing a boxed set of sports action figures that their children and friends could be enthusiastic about. The main design goal was to keep their children's attention and encourage more creative and imaginary play. The result is the line of toys carried by Perks Variety today!
The Kaskey's sincerely believe that your children will enjoy playing with Kaskey Kids as much as theirs have.
