The partnership seeks to capitalize on Safe & Green Holdings’ expertise in sustainable and modular construction, as well as Bearcat Academy’s leadership in youth and junior hockey programs, to create an expansive hockey footprint in strategically important cities throughout the United States.

Safe & Green Holdings has extensive experience working with other national sports organizations, including the NBA. Youth hockey has demonstrated consistent growth, topping 30% across various age groups⁽¹⁾, driving demand for new facilities and programs across the country. Ice Hockey Innovations and Bearcat Academy have been searching for a partner that can accommodate their rapid expansion, while focusing on sustainable and efficient development practices.

Bearcat Academy’s Vice President and Ice Hockey Innovations’ CEO, Rick Pinkleton’s, commented, “We have already proven that the Bearcat Academy model attracts the nation’s top talent, as we have teams comprised of players from across the United States and Canada, as well as multiple key sponsorships including CCM. Now it is time for us to take the organization to the next level by building world-class facilities with training tools that simply do not exist elsewhere. As a veteran and entrepreneur, I cannot envision a better partner than Safe & Green Holdings with their focus on sustainability and environmental responsibility, to bring our flagship training facility to fruition, something we feel only enhances the next generation of elite hockey players.”
