- Attend local tournaments, showcases, and hockey events to network and generate leads.
- Meet or exceed monthly and seasonal sales goals.
- Set up custom team stores on our website for players and family members to order merchandise directly.
Production Responsibilities:

- Sales experience, ideally in sports, apparel, promotional products, or a related field.
- Existing connections with local youth hockey teams, leagues, or athletic organizations are a strong plus.
- Hands-on experience with heat press, DTF, screen printing, or embroidery equipment preferred (will train).
