Premium Toques with Purpose
We sell fashionable and meaningful toques. Each one of these hockey sock style toques purchased allows us to sustainably repurpose a donated hockey sock into a warm and durable toque for a Canadian experiencing homelessness.

Our classic toques give a simplistic look and a strong show of support. Our Hockey team toques let you rep your favourite hockey team, while supporting a good cause - helping Canadians experiencing homelessness stay warm.

Official launch of TFTH
We began reaching out to friends, family, and the hockey community for hockey sock donations. We drove all around the GTHA and collected over 300 hockey socks in our first month!

Selling our first toque
We received a kind donation of 500 new hockey socks from Athletic Knit. With these socks, we began repurposing them into toques and selling them to help us grow our operations and repurpose more toques for the homeless.

First toque delivery to the homeless
On Christmas day, we hand delivered our first 50 toques to the homeless in the GTHA. Seeing all the heartwarming smiles of gratitude, we knew at this moment that we could truly make a difference in the lives of Canadians experiencing homelessness.

Giving toques to non-profits

Selling at hockey tournaments
We attended LUG hockey’s first playoff game of the season where we sold toques, collected socks, and spread the word about our cause. After selling toques directly to hockey players, we decided to create a special line of NHL hockey team toques, as well as the option to reach out to us directly for custom team toques.

Our impact
In our first four months, together we gave away 500 toques to Canadians experiencing homelessness. We also collected 1200 hockey socks, many of which were repurposed into the toques we give.
April 2020
NEW toques
Our toques that we sell have been completely redesigned with improved quality and looks. They are double-layered for added warmth and comfort, softer, stretchier, and more durable. We sell both plain toques and NHL team toques. You wouldn't guess our new toques would be made out of hockey sock material unless we told you.

Restructuring
We fully restructured our operations and are now able to make a larger social impact with the capacity to give toques Canada wide. Read our news article for more information:
