Hockey Speakers
Hockey stars lay their bodies on the line and they are universally respected for their toughness. The NHL has brought a significant level of exposure to these athletes’ impressive feats. Hockey speakers are also some of the humblest athletes to work with and they are great for corporate groups, charities, universities, faith-based groups, and other organizations. The way that the best hockey speakers connect with audiences on important subjects like teamwork, leadership, and overcoming adversity, makes them valuable for any in-person or virtual event.
Sports Team Executive Speakers
Sports team executives are tasked with making difficult decisions about the teams they run each day. The front office of a professional franchise operates with many of the same challenges found in regular businesses. The decisions that these general managers, team presidents and other top staff make can affect the future of their organizations for years to come. Sports team executive speakers are familiar with corporate structures making them excellent for conferences, virtual meetings, trade shows, meetings and a host of other events.
