Exclusive game-worn jersey partner outfitting fans with authentic collections since 2016
BOSTON, MA – (November 18, 2022) – The Premier Hockey Federation (PHF) has announced a partnership extension with MeiGray (MGG) for the 2022-23 season. Since 2016, the industry-leading sports memorabilia source has been the exclusive game-worn partner of the PHF, providing fans the unique opportunity to purchase authentic jerseys worn by PHF players.
“For seven seasons, MeiGray has helped the PHF and its athletes connect with our passionate fans in a truly special way that captures and celebrates the history of professional women’s hockey,” said Jim Pfeifer, PHF Chief Marketing Officer. “We’re excited to continue growing the new era of the PHF with partners like MeiGray who share our goal of strengthening fan engagement with one-of-a-kind experiences and offerings that distinguish the PHF from others in sport.”
Game-worn jerseys from all seven teams competing in the PHF’s eighth season can be pre-ordered, exclusively through MeiGray, with available inventory at MeiGray.com.
