From Cancer Survivor to Roller Hockey Entrepreneur: The Better Days Story

Every great brand has a story that touches hearts and changes lives. Better Days isn't just another clothing company – it's a testament to the power of resilience, community, and never giving up, no matter what life throws at you.

The Journey Begins In the world of roller hockey, a sport where speed, skill, and determination reign supreme, Dom Strebel found more than just a sport – he found a lifeline. When faced with the devastating diagnosis of brain cancer, Dom didn't just fight; he transformed his battle into a mission that would inspire others.

"Better days are always ahead." This wasn't just a hopeful phrase during chemotherapy; it became the foundation of a movement that would unite the roller hockey community and beyond.

From Hospital Rooms to Hockey Rinks During the challenging days of treatment, Dom discovered that the same mental toughness required in roller hockey became his greatest ally in fighting cancer. The support from the community showed him the true power of unity that exists in this sport.

The Birth of Better Days In 2023, emerged from this journey – not just as a clothing brand, but as a symbol of resilience following Dom’s last round of chemotherapy. Every piece in our collection, carries this spirit of determination. We're not just selling clothes; we're sharing strength and grit.

Building More Than a Brand Today, Better Days stands as a bridge between the roller hockey community and those fighting their own battles. Every hoodie, every hat, and every piece of gear represents the will to keep going and “get busy livin”.

Making a Difference Through our partnership with Taylors Hope Foundation and our commitment to supporting chemotherapy patients, we're turning apparel into action. Our community isn't just wearing the brand; they're living its values.
