Sparx Hockey Strengthens Partnership as Official Skate Sharpener for U.S. Pond Hockey Championships

Sparx Hockey Partners with U.S. Pond Hockey Championships

Sparx Hockey, renowned for its cutting-edge automated skate sharpening equipment, has officially amplified its enduring partnership with the Pond Hockey Classic. This collaboration names Sparx Hockey as the Official Skate Sharpener for the prestigious U.S. Pond Hockey Championships. This significant development is exciting for all involved, particularly in light of the recent acquisition of the championship by the Pond Hockey Classic earlier this year.

The Pond Hockey Classic organizes multiple outdoor hockey tournaments across North America, notably including events like the New England Pond Hockey Classic and the Lake Champlain Pond Hockey Classic. Together, these tournaments gather more than 700 teams and over 5,000 players from the U.S. and Canada, celebrating hockey in its most authentic outdoor form.

Steve Jones, Vice President of Marketing at Sparx Hockey, expressed enthusiasm about extending the company's relationship with the Pond Hockey Classic. He stated, "We are excited to extend our relationship with the Pond Hockey Classic and to serve as the Official Skate Sharpener for all three events, including the U.S. Pond Hockey Championships. These tournaments capture the essence of hockey's community spirit, competition, and the deep love for the game."

Sparx Hockey's innovative products aim to deliver both accessibility and professional quality. The Sparx Sharpener is an automated skate sharpener that can deliver precision results without the need for prior skating experience. With thousands of users around the globe—from individual skaters to teams and pro shops—Sparx technology is a staple in the hockey community.

Incorporating advanced technology, Sparx's latest product—the Sparx Sharpener 3—takes skate sharpening to the next level. This new model features the Sparx BEAM™ that can measure skate blade edge levelness with incredible precision, as well as connectivity to the Sparx Hockey Mobile App. Through this app, users can monitor their sharpening preferences, track blade performance, and receive timely notifications when updates or maintenance are necessary.

During the U.S. Pond Hockey Championships, Sparx Hockey will not only provide on-site sharpening services but will also contribute by donating all proceeds from these services to local charities, underscoring the company's commitment to supporting the hockey community.

Scott Crowder, the Commissioner of the Pond Hockey Classic, shared his sentiments about the partnership, stating, "Sparx Hockey has been an incredible partner of the Pond Hockey Classic for several years, and we're thrilled to expand that partnership to include the U.S. Pond Hockey Championships. With Sparx sharpening technology on site, players can focus on competing and enjoying hockey in the way it was meant to be played."
