Union Lake, MI (August 28, 2023)
The American Collegiate Hockey Association, the governing body for non-NCAA college hockey across the United States, is pleased to share that it has extended its relationship with JOG Athletics. Based on the exceptional feedback received from ACHA membership, the ACHA is pleased to continue its strong partnership with an industry leader in the manufacture of 100% custom jerseys and apparel. The ACHA is currently in the third year of its original agreement with JOG Athletics and the renewal will extend the partnership into 2025.
JOG Athletics – Your look. Done right.
JOG leads the custom jersey business with technical expertise and a range of capabilities and materials that allow for an almost infinite number of options in a variety of price ranges. JOG also gives special consideration to ACHA teams in terms of pricing and offers special deals at all JOG Athletics sponsored showcase events.
JOG Athletics CEO Scott Whitcomb, “The relationship we share with the ACHA works because the values of the ACHA and JOG Athletics are very aligned. JOG wholeheartedly supports the opportunity for players to bring their skills and talents to the collegiate level and represent their schools with pride. The ACHA is bringing an increasingly high level of play each year and JOG matches that drive for excellence with pro-level fully custom looks for the teams.”
The number of teams that JOG works with in the ACHA is growing daily. “Many teams have praised JOG for its attention to detail and quality that sets it apart from other suppliers. The confidence level with JOG is very high,” said ACHA Executive Director Craig Barnett. “In short, JOG Athletics has become a trusted partner in getting teams ready for the ice, keeping teams informed along the way, managing licensing and doing its absolute best to meet, what can often be, tight deadlines.”
JOG Athletics sponsored showcases
“We are also extremely happy that JOG is continuing in its role as the main sponsor of our ACHA showcases. Their presence and in-kind support elevates the whole event.” said Barnett. In fact, JOG just finalized its sponsorship of the next Chicago showcase slated for April 28-29th, 2024. The Showcases have become an excellent conduit to educate prospective players and funnel talent to ACHA schools and teams that might not have been considered previously. With the success of the Chicago showcase, there are plans to expand the program with two additional showcases in 2024.
New for 2023
Online Club Stores – Increasingly teams are recognizing the power of their school brands and many have opted to create online stores to sell not only replicas of their jerseys but also other branded apparel. A carefully curated store can yield significant income to either cover team expenses and/or fund other team jersey and apparel items.
JOG Athletics landing page – Barnett added, “As a way to help our teams we will be adding a landing page to the ACHA website to make it even easier for our teams to find information about JOG Athletics and provide links to their products.”
