Additionally, it provides various types of sporting equipment and apparel, serving customers from Springfield and its surrounding areas with baseball/softball gear, basketball/soccer equipment, and party facilities.
Baseball & Softball Equipment
Baseball and softball both boast long histories as sports. Both versions can be enjoyed indoors or out, and their rules differ slightly between variants depending on player gender, age, and field dimensions.
Dugout Sports is a family-owned baseball and softball equipment store founded in 2004. They aimed to offer quality products alongside a knowledgeable staff that could assist their customers with using them correctly, all topped off with exceptional customer service for an unforgettable retail experience.
GameChanger Sports provides athletes, coaches, and families with tools that enable them to stay connected through live streaming, scorekeeping, team management features, and developmental resources.
Basketball & Soccer Equipment
Steve has distinguished himself in both basketball and soccer at the highest levels. As an NCAA tournament qualifier during college on a basketball scholarship, leading his team to three MSBL National Championships, he also won multiple local and regional titles. On top of playing professional and amateur sports himself in Wisconsin, he coaches youth, collegiate, and high school teams and led Divine Savior Holy Angels high school team to an undefeated 2021 state title as an assistant head coach.
He has appeared as a guest on ESPN radio shows and in television and film appearances such as cameo roles in “Entourage” and HBO’s “Iconoclasts.” An avid sportsman himself, he owns a 3,000-acre ranch in British Columbia where he hunts and fishes as well as enjoys golf – his passion lies there too!

Golf & Outdoor Equipment
Steve owns and operates a golf shop offering top-brand products. His professional staff provides expert club fitting, with great trade-in prices for used clubs. In addition, they have an apparel collection, including custom T-shirts, tote bags, hats, and more!
He is an expert in selling turf equipment, boasting 20 years of experience managing golf course turf management and having worked for Redexim Turf, EZGo, and Jacobsen EZGo as an agent or salesperson in both Kansas and California.
Steve brings over 16 years of coaching experience at Harvard and Otterbein colleges, having won eight league championships and produced multiple All-American players. Furthermore, he coached internationally with Hannover 96 in Germany.
His passion for sports led him to develop a program that has trained thousands of athletes into stars in athletics, school, and life. His mental training program is proven to create the unshakeable focus that star athletes possess. His radio appearances and support of local sports are frequent while living at Webster Lake, enjoying racquetball, golfing, fishing, duck hunting, and daily ice cream treats are part of everyday life for him – in fact, he belongs to Maxwelton Golf Club!
Hockey & Other Sports Equipment
Steve’s Sports has long been associated with recreational sporting goods in Middleboro. For 60 years, the store was an iconic part of town life – locals struggle to recall what life would be like without its bright maroon-and-white facade.
Now, the family-owned business is experiencing an exciting transformation. Their retail space will undergo a complete remodel in 2019, focusing on hockey instead. Renamed the Duluth Hockey Company by their owners, their goal is to become the go-to place in their region for hockey equipment and apparel sales.
The Duluth Hockey Company will still outfit ice hockey teams from throughout the Twin Ports while welcoming customers from as far away as Mountain Iron and Buhl areas. According to its general manager, Jamie Stauber, this shift makes sense.
Stauber will remain part of his family-owned business in Duluth Hockey Company; however, giving up the Sports Den name to focus on regional branding was difficult but necessary as they move into its next stage.
Rochester-based sportswear retailer Reebok Sportswear is well known for providing custom athletic gear to schools, businesses, and local organizations in Rochester and beyond. Their specialty lies in custom logos and team colors as well as uniforms and apparel – with totes, hats, t-shirts, and more available from them as well. Their founder, Steven Carell, from “The Office” fame, is perhaps best recognized here as well but has no known links to hockey at all.
