U SPORTS announced Thursday that Kobe Sportswear has been named the new official outfitter of its Men’s and Women’s Hockey All-Star Teams.
The partnership will see the 2019 U SPORTS Women’s Hockey All-Stars outfitted by new Kobe-produced uniforms at the upcoming Hockey Canada Summer Showcase taking place in Calgary.
“We are thrilled to align ourselves with a reputable Canadian organization, such as
