NEW YORK & DALLAS (May 26, 2021) – Shavelogic Inc., an industry-defying razor startup and the National Hockey League (NHL®) today announced a new partnership, naming Shavelogic an Official NHL Partner in the United States.
The partnership, Shavelogic’s first with a professional sports league, provides Shavelogic with an array of exclusive marketing rights that will connect the brand with the NHL, its fans, players, and events through the NHL’s vast marketing, digital, and social media channels.
