CALGARY, Alta. – Hockey Canada and Elastic Path Software have teamed up for a multi-year agreement that
will see Elastic Path develop and support a new online store that provides an exciting online shopping
experience for all Team Canada fans.
“Elastic Path Software is very pleased to team-up with Hockey Canada,” said Harry Chemko, co-founder and CEO
of Elastic Path Software. “As Canada’s national winter sport, hockey is intertwined with Canadian culture and
virtually each and every Canadian. On behalf of all of us at Elastic Path, we are honoured to be a part of
the Canadian fabric by being named as the online provider for Team Canada hockey. We look upon our
partnership with Hockey Canada as an opportunity to contribute and support our country’s great game.”
The new partnership includes the development of a shopper-friendly online store that includes packaging and
shipping services and will be supported by a customer service approach that includes bilingual operators,
electronic messaging and live email. Team Canada hockey fans will have access to a wide range of merchandise,
much of which will only be found through the online store. In addition, subscribers and ticket holders will
be offered a variety of unique goods and will be first in line for new product offerings.
Scott Smith, Hockey Canada’s chief operating officer, feels this agreement will have benefits for fans of all
ages, for those living not only in Canada, but also abroad, as they follow Canada’s teams throughout the
hockey season.
“Hockey Canada was seeking an online partner to provide ‘gold medal’ service for the multitude of fans that
cheer on Team Canada, and we are elated that we found a made-in-Canada solution, with Elastic Path, to
support our endeavors,” Smith says. “It is important for Hockey Canada to seek out the talents of Canadian
enterprise to support Canadian hockey.”
