PITTSBURGH – PPG and the National Hockey League (NHL®) announced a three-year extension of their partnership, with PPG continuing its status as the Official Paint of the NHL in the United States and Canada. Financial details and terms were not disclosed.
In addition, all official game pucks in the 2019-2020 NHL season will include a color-changing thermochromic coating. Developed closely with PPG suppliers LCR Hallcrest and QCR Solutions Corp., the advanced coatings change from purple to clear when a puck’s temperature is above freezing, providing a visual indication to officials that the puck should be replaced.
