COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – The National Collegiate Hockey Conference (NCHC) has completed an agreement with KJ Branding, based in Buffalo, Minn., to serve as the preferred athletics graphics partner of the Conference, the NCHC announced Monday.

KJ Branding specializes in custom wall murals, mounted logos, backlit graphics, team and individualized plaques, along with canvas creations and more. KJ Branding will have the opportunity to assist with graphics and banners to decorate the Conference’s annual year-end Awards Celebration and Frozen Faceoff championship in Saint Paul, Minn.

Along with that, KJ Branding becomes the official sponsor of the NCHC Players of the Week. The Conference’s four weekly awards (Forward, Defenseman, Goaltender and Rookie) are handed out each Monday during the season.

With the new partnership, the NCHC will also be able to connect member schools to KJ Branding to offer their services for each school’s own venue. KJ Branding has already previously worked with several NCHC member schools, including Minnesota Duluth, North Dakota, Omaha, St. Cloud State and Western Michigan.

The partnership between the NCHC and KJ Branding takes effect immediately and runs through at least the 2023-24 season.
