Now our customers and NHL fans can bring their team spirit with them wherever they go.” The summers on Martha's Vineyard are not far from the frozen winter ponds of Boston, where hockey is a religion, so it was only natural that the colorful New England styling of vineyard vines products would align with the National Hockey League. "The NHL is proud to be associated with a brand that is renowned for its product excellence,” said Jim Haskins, NHL Group VP of Consumer Products. "The NHL vineyard vines tie collection will present expertly crafted workmanship in neckwear with a fun fashion approach that our fans are going to love.” Product from all 30 NHL teams plus former teams from NHL’s Vintage Hockey nostalgia collection including the New York Americans and Hartford Whalers will be sold on vineyardvines.com, at vineyard vines retail stores, the NHL Powered by Rebook flagship store in New York City and on Shop.NHL.com, the official online store of the NHL operated by e-commerce provider Fanatics.
