Episode 8: Joe Messina & Zac Smith, Second String Leather on Hockey Style with Devon & Megan

Saving Style: Second String Leather’s Goalie Gear Revival

In episode 8 of Hockey Style, Devon and Megan are lacing up for a deep dive into the intersection of hockey, heritage, and handcrafted design! For Period Two, they ar3e joined by the founders of Second String Leather Co., a Grand Rapids-based company that transforms game-used goalie gear into one-of-a-kind wallets, accessories, and collector’s items.

Both lifelong goaltenders and now college-level coaches, these creators have a passion for preserving the stories behind the saves. From vintage leather pads to custom glove wallets, every piece they make is a tribute to the game — and the goalies who live it.

Joe and Zac talk about their goaltending roots, the artistry behind repurposing old gear, and how their Michigan-made brand is keeping hockey history alive in the most stylish way possible.
