USPS Partners with NHL as Official Shipping Sponsor

In a groundbreaking announcement made today, the United States Postal Service (USPS) has officially partnered with the National Hockey League (NHL) to become its official shipping sponsor. This partnership marks the union of two iconic American institutions, bringing together the excellence and competitive spirit both organizations embody.

Sheila Holman, Vice President of Marketing at USPS, highlighted the synergy between USPS and the NHL. "The NHL embodies a competitive spirit and reflects the core values of teamwork, resilience, and the relentless pursuit of excellence. Every day, we at USPS embody these traits in our daily service to the American public. We are excited to connect our brands in what promises to be an engaging and entertaining collaboration,” she stated.

Enhanced Fan Engagement at NHL Events

Thanks to this new sponsorship deal, NHL fans will have unprecedented opportunities to interact with USPS during various NHL events. Major highlights include their participation in pivotal events like the NHL Winter Classic® and the NHL Stadium Series™. During the upcoming NHL Stadium Series in Tampa in 2026, USPS will have a significant presence at the NHL PreGame Fan Festival, offering interactive activities. Fans can test their hockey skills and enjoy a photo booth where they can create and send a postcard featuring their picture directly from the venue.

In addition to direct fan engagement, USPS will gain an extensive array of exclusive marketing rights. This will connect the USPS brand with the NHL and its vast fanbase through multiple marketing channels, including digital and social media platforms. Both organizations are set to collaborate on original content and storytelling efforts across their respective platforms.

A Milestone for Both Organizations

Jason Jazayeri, Vice President and Business Development Executive at NHL Group, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership. "USPS is one of the most iconic and deeply-rooted brands in American history, with a dynamic 250-year legacy. We are proud to welcome USPS to the NHL family. Together, we aim to create powerful content and memorable experiences that will delight fans of both the NHL and USPS," he remarked.

The National Hockey League, established in 1917, comprises 32 member clubs, attracting global talent with players from over 20 countries vying for the prestigious Stanley Cup each year. The league garners immense popularity, entertaining over 670 million fans annually through live events and broadcasting partnerships, accessible in more than 260 countries worldwide.

Celebrating Diversity and Community Impact

The NHL recognizes the importance of fostering healthy and vibrant communities by utilizing hockey to celebrate diverse fans across races, ethnicities, and backgrounds. Their NHL Unites platform underscores the sport's commitment to inclusivity, both on and off the ice, in locker rooms, boardrooms, and stands alike.

The organization, which does not rely on taxpayer money for its operations, continues to modernize its network, ensuring sustainability while maintaining its status as one of America's most trusted brands.

As both the USPS and NHL embark on this collaboration, fans can look forward to unique experiences that celebrate their shared love for hockey while enjoying the reliable services USPS offers.
