• Team dealer Game One has promoted Pat Weber to CEO, effective February 16, retaining his role as president. Weber has more than 17 years of experience in the team sports and uniform business, with a background as a sales rep, retail store manager and VP–operations.

“Pat excels at developing high-performing teams, promoting collaboration, optimizing operational efficiency and creating growth,” says Russ Wilson, partner at Trivest, the private equity firm that owns Game One. “His drive and relationship skills will give Game One the competitive edge.”

Game One believes it has transformed the team sporting goods arena by combining nine regional companies into one company.

“We are incredibly passionate about our business. We believe in the power of telling team stories. It’s simply part of our DNA.” Weber adds. “Taking the best practices from all nine companies and creating a best-in-class distribution model was challenging and we are excited our team now has the tools of a new ERP, increased decoration capacity with our new 135,000-square-foot facility in Ohio and a new team store experience for sales reps and customers. I think we are set up for exponential growth over the next few years.”
