Premier Hockey Federation

Elevating Women’s Sports and Shaping the Future of Pro Hockey

2022 Isobel Cup motion

Overview

The Challenge
The Premier Hockey Federation needed a strategic creative partner to rebrand teams, launch new franchises, and increase the league’s visibility in a pivotal moment for women’s hockey. The goal was to raise the PHF’s profile while laying the groundwork for long-term growth and relevance.

Our Approach
As agency of record for the 2022–2023 season, we worked across brand, design, and content to give the league a bold new presence:

  • Rebranded multiple teams and launched new franchises
  • Designed custom jerseys, league-wide creative, and campaign content
  • Created original video, social, and motion assets throughout the season
  • Developed strategy and visual identity for marquee events like the All-Star Game and Isobel Cup Playoffs

Key Deliverables

  • 700+ creative assets and videos produced over a 6-month season
  • Full rebrand and expansion franchise identity systems
  • Jersey design, event creative, and digital campaigns
  • End-to-end strategy and execution across platforms

The Impact
Our work helped set a new bar for the league’s creative identity and fan engagement. The campaign directly supported the historic PWHPA–PHF merger and was covered in Forbes and SportBusiness. The PHF was positioned as a leader in women’s sports—with visuals and storytelling to match.
