Our first NHL player
PUMA welcomes NHL All-Star Leon Draisaitl as brand ambassador
June 22, 2021
We have signed a long-term agreement with NHL All-Star Leon Draisaitl, who will become the first NHL ice hockey player to join PUMA Family as a brand ambassador.
Leon, who was born in Germany and joined NHL team Edmonton Oilers in 2014, will support PUMA also off the ice rink as an ambassador for training and lifestyle products. He is one of the NHL’s most successful players of his generation. In the 2019/20 season, Leon firmly left his mark on the sport by becoming the first German player to win the Art Ross Trophy for scoring the most points and also being named the most valuable and most outstanding player in the NHL that year. He was also voted athlete of the year in Germany in 2020.
Joining the PUMA Family as the first NHL player is something very special. PUMA has teamed up with many great athletes such as Usain Bolt and Neymar Jr. and I’m excited to be part of this group.
