Men's Wearhouse partners with NHL

With the start of the National Hockey League (NHL) season, Men's Wearhouse has announced a two-year agreement with the National Hockey League Coaches Association (NHLCA) to dress the head coaches in Joseph Abboud Custom suits for the 2017-2018 season and be the Official Custom Suit Provider to the NHL Coaches.

The company will be outfitting 20 head coaches in Joseph Abboud Custom tailored suits, personally styled by them. The coaches were measured at various Men's Wearhouse stores nationwide and were able to select from over 150 fabric swatches, various silhouettes and range of style options. Each coach will receive 10 Joseph Abboud Custom suits and ties for the season.

Head coach of the Dallas Stars, Ken Hitchcock, said, "When you have 82 games a season, it's important to look professional and have confidence on the sidelines. We're honored to have this partnership with an American designer, with American made product."

The other head coaches being outfitted are Jared Bednar of the Colorado Avalanche, John Hynes of the New Jersey Devils, Jeff Blashill of the Detroit Red Wings, Peter Laviolette of the Nashville Predators, Guy Boucher of the Ottawa Senators, Bill Peters of the Carolina Hurricanes, Bruce Boudreau of the Minnesota Wild, Joel Quenneville of the Chicago Blackhawks, Bob Boughner of the Florida Panthers, John Stevens of the Los Angeles Kings, Bruce Cassidy of the Boston Bruins, Mike Sullivan of the Pittsburgh Penguins, Peter DeBoer of the San Jose Sharks, John Tortorella of the Columbus Blue Jackets, Gerard Gallant of the Vegas Golden Knights, Barry Trotz of the Washington Capitals, Travis Green of the Vancouver Canucks, Mike Yeo of the St. Louis Blues and Glen Gulutzan of the Calgary Flames.

In addition, the coaches will be giving back by participating in the annual Men's Wearhouse National Suit Drive in July. Men's Wearhouse collects gently used professional clothing for Americans transitioning back into the workforce. The company partners with over 170 non-profit organizations across the country to help disadvantaged individuals regain employment through job readiness programs and workforce assistance. Each coach will donate a piece of professional clothing to a Men's Wearhouse store in July. "It's important to give back to the community and this is a great way to help Americans get back into the workforce so I'm happy to be a part of it," said Barry Trotz, head coach of the Washington Capitals.
