CCM Hockey sealed a multi-year partnership with Zach Parise, alternate captain for the Minnesota Wild and two-time U.S. Olympian.
A native of Minneapolis, Minnesota, Parise joins the roster of CCM athletes that includes Sidney Crosby, Connor McDavid, Carey Price, Patrice Bergeron and John Tavares.
To announce the multi-year partnership, Parise made a special appearance at the Wayzata Boys Varsity Ice Hockey practice to honor the team’s 2016 State Championship title. During his appearance at Wayzata’s practice, Parise presented the team with a congratulatory banner on behalf of CCM.
“I am excited to partner with a brand with so much hockey heritage,” said Parise. “Today, players have a lot of choice when it comes to equipment. I wanted to partner with CCM because of the brand’s clear focus on innovation and technology. I’m very impressed with how well the equipment performs and how well it responds to my needs on the ice.”
“We are very honored to have Zach as a CCM ambassador,” said Sean Williams, VP of global marketing and NA sales, CCM Hockey. “He’s a leader and a competitor who represents our brand values on and off the ice. We look forward to helping Zach achieve his goals by providing him with high performance equipment and great service.”
As part of the agreement, Parise will exclusively use CCM equipment. He will also participate in CCM’s many community-based initiatives, support upcoming product launches and serve as a global ambassador for the brand.
