About Gongshow
Gongshow was founded in 2002 by three teammates in the Central Junior
"A" Hockey League after identifying the need for a hockey apparel brand
that would accurately represent the exciting and exclusive lifestyle
that hockey players live. Gongshow was the first Lifestyle Hockey
Apparel brand in the world to hit the market in 2002, and this game
changing company has since grown into the largest hockey lifestyle
clothing brand in the world - selling in over 500 retail locations, in
15 countries internationally, and has hailed comparisons to such
pioneering lifestyle brands as Billabong (Surfing Lifestyle), and Burton
(Snowboarding Lifestyle). Gongshow is dedicated to a core set of
philosophies and strengths: design superiority, highest level of
material quality and workmanship, edgy and trend setting hockey
expression, a focus on consumer to brand connection, and strong
partnerships with retailers and suppliers
