NHL Fan Engagement & Hockey Culture Platform

Hockey fans are the most loyal in sports. Vonga helps NHL teams turn that loyalty into data — from jerseys to pucks to playoff towels, every tradition becomes a fan intelligence touchpoint.

Hockey Fans Are Loyal — Do You Know Who They Are?

The most passionate fans in sports deserve the most personalized experiences.

The Challenge

Hockey fans pack arenas, grow playoff beards, and pass jerseys down through generations. The loyalty is unmatched.

But most of that passion is invisible to the front office. You know season ticket holders. Everyone else is a mystery.

The Opportunity

Hockey's collectible culture — pucks, jerseys, commemorative items — is perfect for NFC. Items fans treasure become engagement touchpoints.

Turn traditions into data. Turn collectibles into connections.

NFC Meets Hockey Traditions

From the locker room to the trophy case, hockey culture is built for NFC.

Jerseys

Hockey jerseys are passed down, collected, treasured. NFC-enabled jerseys engage fans for years — not just one season.

Use case: Vintage night jerseys with NFC that unlock historical content.

Commemorative Pucks

Milestone games, player achievements, championship moments. NFC pucks become collectibles that connect — tap for highlights, stats, and memories.

Use case: First goal pucks with NFC that deliver the video on tap.

Rally Towels

Playoff hockey runs on rally towels. NFC-enabled towels capture the surge of postseason fans who might not attend regular season games.

Use case: Playoff towels that build fan profiles during the Cup run.
