MONTREAL - September 14, 2015 - Bauer Hockey, Inc. today announced today that it has signed a partnership with Alex Galchenyuk of the Montreal Canadiens. Galchenyuk will exclusively wear BAUER equipment and apparel and will work closely with Bauer Hockey's product development team to provide insight and feedback into future product direction.

"It is exciting to partner with a company with as much history and heritage as Bauer Hockey," Galchenyuk said. "Not only is the company deeply rooted in the history of hockey, BAUER also makes the most innovative equipment in the game, and I'm excited to join the many other top professional players who rely solely on BAUER for all of their equipment needs."

Galchenyuk, the third overall pick in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft, registered 20 goals and 26 assists for 46 points in 80 games last season.
