GARNIER stands for quality, sustainability and innovation. In everyday life, and particularly in sport, body care products are virtually indispensable. With GARNIER, ÖEHV gains a strong partner. The new ÖEHV partner will make its first appearance on Thursday in the men's national team's World Championship 2026 warm-up match against Czechia.
The partnership will be showcased through rink-board advertising and logo placements. Above all, however, fans and players can look forward to samples being handed out during the game.
The partnership will be brought to life during the game through targeted product presence: alongside goodies for the players, the women's national team, the men's U18 team, the men's U20 team, the women's U18 team and the Para team will also be supplied with samples of GARNIER's 8H Pimple Patches. In addition, guests at the venue can also look forward to small goodies.
Alexander Helwig, ÖEHV Managing Director: “We are delighted about the new partnership with GARNIER, which further underlines the positive development of the federation. We would like to thank GARNIER for the straightforward process and excellent cooperation, and are proud to have them on board as an official cooperation partner as part of National Military Night on 23.04.2026.”
