Caterpillar Inc. and the National Hockey League (NHL) have agreed to a multi-year global sponsorship naming Caterpillar the official heavy equipment and industrial power sponsor of the NHL. Launching this fall at the start of the 2022-23 NHL regular season, the sponsorship will focus on recognizing those who manufacture, sell, and operate Cat products and services.

"Caterpillar and the National Hockey League both represent committed and passionate doers who work hard as part of a team to accomplish a goal," said Yvette Morrison, global head of marketing and brand for Caterpillar. "We will use this sponsorship to engage with customers and employees providing them with an enjoyable experience."
