The USA Hockey ice hockey organisation has announced a four-year partnership with sporting goods brand STX.
The Baltimore-based company is set to launch its ice hockey production line later this year and becomes an official sponsor and equipment supplier to USA Hockey.
Additionally, STX will be an official sponsor of the governing body’s youth, girls and high school national championships. It will provide equipment to a number of USA Hockey programmes and initiatives, including the National Team Development Programme in Ann Arbor, Michigan and the US national teams.
“A partnership with USA Hockey was an immediate goal of ours once we made the decision to enter the hockey category” Jason Goger, president of STX, said. “They are the pre-eminent amateur hockey organisation in the United States and we look forward to supporting their goal of growing the game.”
