USABH PARTNERS WITH MYLEC, INC.

BOSTON — USA Ball Hockey is proud to announce that it has reached an agreement to partner with the largest ball hockey equipment provider in the world, Mylec, Inc. The partnership marks the first of its kind for USA Ball Hockey and aligns with the vision of growing the game for years to come in America.

“Mylec is a unique industry and is dedicated to the vision of USABH and the growth of the game,” said USA Ball Hockey President, Chris Banks. “They are on the shelves of all of the major vendors here in the United States, such as Dick’s Sporting Goods and Wal-Mart for a reason. Drive down any street in America. If you notice a child playing hockey, the odds are good they’re using Mylec’s equipment. It goes together with our dream of having every player and official wearing a USA Ball Hockey patch on their shirt or sticker on their helmet.”

While USA Ball Hockey just celebrated its second birthday as a non-profit organization, Mylec Inc. enters its 51st year. “Growing the sport is both of our main objectives,” states Mylec Inc. owner Ricky Laperierre. “We have several working relationships with NHL Teams that also align perfectly to our goals. We feel staying disciplined to our mutual long-term goals will be critical to our long-term success as partners. As an American company that is already synonymous with the sport, we feel this is the absolute perfect time to partner and grow the game.”

The exclusive partnership binds the two through the year 2025 and focuses on investing assets into sport development to support rinks and programs throughout the country that are sanctioned by USA Ball Hockey. Mylec, Inc. will also be active in all USA Ball Hockey events, such as the Future Stars Invitational, and will be present with the U.S. National Teams.

“USABH and Mylec have worked very hard on this exciting announcement. Mylec is a staple in America for off-ice hockey and is synonymous with quality and American pride,” said Banks. “It’s especially fitting that this partnership between Mylec and USABH is finalized on the 4th of July weekend. We look forward to working with Mylec now and in the future to continue to grow our great game.”

USABH is the premier ball hockey organization in the United States and possesses a comprehensive reach nationally, at all levels of play, thanks to strategic alliances with key organizations. We are focused on growing the game, from the beginner youth levels through international competition. USABH’s intention is to facilitate national teams and unify all Juniors, Men’s, Women’s and Master’s programs and events.
