JBF Kids Inc. specializes in youth engagement products for professional sports teams and brands, and has more than 8 NHL and NFL Team Club Apps and a partnership with the NFLPA.
Club Rockets, available both in the App Store and on Google Play, challenges fans to test their Hockey IQ with trivia questions that focus on areas like game rules and history, alongside specific player trivia. Artwork exclusive to Club Rockets can be used by fans to personalize their own avatars and hockey cards.
