KR3 has been in business since the early 1900s when Solen Lewis Doolittle established a handle and hockey stick factory in St. Marys, Ontario. The company, known as St Mary’s Wood Specialty Co., produced its first complete line of hockey sticks in 1909.

Although the company initially made handles for a range of tools and hockey sticks, today it specialises in creating handcrafted baseball bats. The company is passionate about supporting the growth of baseball in Canad, and in 2003, it became the official supplier of bats for the Canadian Baseball League.

KR3 bats are available from a range of retailers and you can use the store locator to find your nearest supplier.
