Annapolis Father-son Hockey Gear Business to be presented on “Shark Tank”

Annapolis, md. – A father -son duo in Annapolis landed on the episode of this Friday of ‘Shark Tank’ for their protective hockey equipment.

Martin and Martin Negron started the company in 2022, and in just a few years, they present their idea to the Sharks.

His Martin is a junior at St. Mary’s High School and has been playing hockey for ten years. The company’s idea began with a concern that all hockey families have.

“It started my 8th year,” said Martin E., Martin A.’s son. “When someone in my youth hockey club was cut. And when my parents and I went in search of options, there was no shirt that had the protection of the neck and the protection of the arms.”

“It was really different, just trying to convince the sharks about the reasons why we are unique and why we are an excellent product,” said Martin E.

“Thousands of people go to hearing,” added Martin A., “So to reach the end, it is a great privilege. And also the possibility of presenting our ideas and our products to sharks, and Friday you will see what came out.”

The products have even drawn the attention of pros, including the Henderson Silver Knights, the AHL of the NHL Vegas Golden Knights.

“It is a surreal experience because we were hockey fans above all. And then when we go to a game, and we know that one of the players has something we created, it is a great feeling that I can tell you,” said Martin A.

Martin said they have requests for patent and develop equipment for goalkeepers.

“It’s a great feeling,” continued Martin A. “Because it is a different type of dynamic in the relationship, and also maintains a link between us beyond daily things to do your homework and everything else.”

St. Mary is his organization of a “Shark Tank” surveillance party this Friday. The episode is broadcast on Friday at 8 p.m. on Wmar on Friday.
