During this time I worked as President of a multi brand hockey company, only to leave this position after 5 years and taking the Verbero brand with me.
I solely and deeply immersed myself in every aspect of the Verbero rebrand and relaunch, positioning Verbero as the most comprehensive equipment and apparel operating system in the industry.

Verbero specializes in all things branded as well as plugging in robust operating systems for teams and associations all over the world.
Because of this intimate access, I was constantly asked how we could assist with an online system to Unify every facet of the hockey business in one, streamlined, user friendly and cost effective location.

Our Story

Section Image

The inspiration for Unify Team was born from a lifetime spent in sports—Andy and Chet have been players, parents, coaches, managers, board members, and volunteers. They experienced firsthand the chaos of managing teams with fragmented software solutions, from registration to video coaching. Frustrated by the lack of a unified, user-friendly platform, they saw an opportunity to create something better for the youth sports industry. Why should organizations juggle multiple tools for websites, gear, or fundraising? Why endure poor user experiences and high costs? Andy and Chet knew there had to be a better way.

Thus, Unify Team was born—a next-generation sports management platform that brings everything under one roof. From free registration and financial reporting to AI-driven websites and custom team stores, Unify simplifies every aspect of running a successful season. Our platform supports the total player lifecycle, nurturing talent with video skill development, stat tracking via Elite Prospects, and affordable gear. Fundraising tools ensure accessibility, while our no setup fee model and cashback benefits save organizations money.
