As a Corporate Partner, the Company is the Official Tire and Wheel Retailer of USA Hockey

Tire Rack, which has been revolutionizing tire buying since 1979, is the newest corporate partner of USA Hockey, the National Governing Body for the sport of ice hockey in the United States. The sponsorship agreement establishes TireRack.com as the Official Tire and Wheel Retailer of Hockey USA.

The company, headquartered in South Bend, Indiana, helps more automotive consumers select and purchase the right tires for their driving needs than any other resource. In addition to its extensive range of online consumer tire information and decision tools, TireRack.com operates seven national distributions centers for fast local delivery virtually anywhere.

“We’re extremely pleased to partner with Tire Rack,” said Dave Ogrean, executive director of USA Hockey. “Tires are an important part of vehicle safety and with the amount of miles traveled by those involved in our sport, we’re glad to add a partner that not only provides great value, but also is engaged in research relative to performance.”

“Winter – and winter tire buying – is an important part of our business,” said Matt Edmonds, Vice President, TireRack.com. “But much like the sport of ice hockey, driving isn’t a seasonal activity, it’s a year-round endeavor. Our team looks forward to a four-season partnership with the members of USA Hockey.”
