Mission Hockey is an American brand of inline skates currently owned by Bauer Hockey. In December 1994, three former Bauer employees founded the Dare Development Group and began producing roller hockey equipment under the Mission brand name. In December 1997, Dare changed its name to the Mission Hockey Company after it expanded to ice hockey. During the late 1990s and early 2000s, Mission equipment was used widely in the National Hockey League. In 2004, Mission merged with Itech to form Mission-Itech Hockey Ltd. Mission equipment remained in production until 2008, when Bauer purchased Mission-Itech. Bauer continues to produce inline skates using Mission branding, while the name has been absent in the hockey market since it was taken over.
