"The PWHL is one of the most exciting leagues in professional sports, built on elite competition and a passionate fanbase that has long been underserved," said The Realest's Founder and CEO Scott Keeney (aka DJ Skee). "From day one, we set out to make women's sports memorabilia a true category, not an afterthought, and our record-setting work across women's leagues proves the demand. Partnering with the PWHL is a natural next step as we expand our leadership in women's collectibles. We're thrilled to help preserve and authenticate pieces of women's hockey history straight from the ice."
"As we enter our third season of unprecedented growth and record-shattering fan support, it was important to preserve our league's history and share those moments with our fans," said Kate Boyce, Vice President, Merchandising, PWHL. "Our first-ever authentics partnership with The Realest will give PWHL fans the opportunity to bring home pieces of the legacy we are building together."
The PWHL collection is available for fans to bid on through The Realest's auction at therealest.com/pwhl.
The Realest leverages long-standing relationships across sports and entertainment to set a new standard for next-generation authentication. Through its proprietary TRuEST© witness-based verification system, the company delivers ironclad, source-verified collectibles, ensuring fans and collectors can buy with total confidence.
The partnership with the PWHL expands The Realest's growing portfolio across women's sports, building on the company's collaborations with the 85ers, which helped preserve and celebrate the legacy of the first U.S. Women's National Soccer Team; the Unrivaled Basketball League, which launched with a collection of game-used items from the league's inaugural season and ATHLOS, a first-of-its kind women's only track and field invitational.
