The National Hockey League (NHL) just dropped this Gen-Z commercial, and I think this might be my favorite commercial from a sports organization. They’re breaking down business stereotypes through the lens of their Gen Z players, and wrapping it up with the line: "The next golden era is now." As part of Gen Z, I’m absolutely eating this up. It's exciting to see how brands like the NHL are evolving to connect with younger audiences in fresh, relatable ways! #NHL #genz #sportsmarketing #thegoldenera #businessstereotypes #genzplayers #youthculture #brandevolution #hockeyculture #marketingtrends #sportsandbusiness #relatablemarketing
