The Gold Standard

KO Sports is committed to providing its clients with the utmost in personal service and innovation. We continuously set trends in the hockey business, including: precedent setting contracts, innovative endorsements, licensing and marketing opportunities. Our goal is to set new standards for our clients and maximize their potential for personal growth, professional development, and financial success.

As an aspiring professional hockey player, one of the most challenging things that both the athlete and family face is selecting the right person to help guide us through the journey. For our family, this proved to be very true. We considered it very fortunate that John was introduced and came to work with Kurt. Since we began working with Kurt and his staff, they have given us guidance and sound advice every step of the way. Kurt’s unparalleled knowledge of the hockey world and professional demeanor gave us the utmost confidence that John’s career is being managed properly. We can’t imagine anyone else filling the role that he does for our family. Lastly, we highly recommend Kurt and KO Sports to any young athlete that has the dream of becoming a professional hockey player.

— Jack and Sue Gibson
