Each Fall, PHPA Executive Director Larry Landon and Benefits Administrator Paulette Salewski travel across North American to spend 90 minutes with players from each of the 58 teams that comprise the American Hockey League and ECHL to update and educate players on what their union provides for them.  The PHPA refers to this monumental task which takes over 2 months to complete as the annual “Fall Enrollment Tour“.

Perhaps the aspect of each team meeting most enjoyed by the players though is when they are provided with PHPA ‘swag’ or “Fall Enrollment gifts”.

In prior years, gifts have ranged from any combination of PHPA ball caps and t-shirts to workout shorts and toques.  Travel mugs always seem to be a hit with players as well.

This season, at the behest of the PHPA player Executive Committee, PHPA Members will receive PHPA branded ball caps produced by Old Time Hockey, and a new product never before provided to players; a magnetic PHPA puck – bottle opener, produced by Athletica Sport Systems.

*Of note – the PHPA typically orders extra volume of each product which is sold in the PHPA online store for a limited time until quantities last.  Both of these products will be made available for purchase at the conclusion of the Fall Enrollment Tour (early December).  Until then, check out these other products and apparel which have been provided to players over the years, which are now available for purchase, so you too can wear what the pros wear.
