Reebok Reportedly Could Be Replaced On NHL Jerseys By Parent Company Adidas

Reebok has the rights "to make NHL jerseys," but parent company adidas is "considering putting its own name" on the jerseys instead of Reebok, according to Elliotte Friedman of the CBC. As part of the transition from Reebok to adidas, there could be an "extension of the current contract, which runs through 2016-17" (CBC.ca, 1/7). SPORTING NEWS' Sean Gentille wrote the move would be "interesting," as Reebok Hockey has a "handful of high-profile athlete endorsers," including Penguins C Sidney Crosby. Gentille: "Odds are he's not strapping on adidas skates anytime soon" (SPORTINGNEWS.com, 1/7).

Coors Light has secured the U.S. presenting sponsorship (THE DAILY).
