Approach Clothing Co. is set to resume its role as the presenting sponsor and apparel merchandiser for the 2026 National Hockey Festival, bringing a fresh wave of official merchandise to the sport’s upcoming showcase.
The three‑day competition will unfold from November 26 through 28 at the Paradise Coast Sports Complex in Naples, Florida, featuring age‑group divisions that range from U‑10 co‑ed to U‑19 girls, drawing teams from across the country.
A Partnership That Stands the Test of Time
Having served as the festival’s presenting sponsor for four straight years, Approach Clothing Co. continues a relationship that the company describes as a cornerstone of its community engagement. J Hackney, chief operating officer of the brand, said the partnership reflects a shared commitment to elevating the sport and supporting its growing base of participants.
Ginger Wheeler, USA Field Hockey’s commercial partnerships manager, praised the company for its reliability and dedication, noting that the organization looks forward to seeing the new range of hoodies, jackets, hats and other athletic wear that will be available to athletes, families, coaches and umpires.
Attendees will be able to purchase high‑quality souvenir apparel directly through the festival’s official channels, while teams can also order customized garments that bear the licensed National Hockey Festival branding, a service that underscores the sponsor’s role as the event’s apparel merchandiser.
