November 01, 2017 (Hamilton, ON) – NCCH (National Cycling Centre Hamilton) is delighted to announce that Pearl Izumi will be the official & exclusive clothing supplier commencing in 2018. This new partnership represents an opportunity to outfit our riders with top quality gear and build the reach of the team and the Pearl Izumi brand at races throughout Canada and the United States.

“As an alumni of the NCCH program from 2004-2006 and after working with the Morning Glory Cycling Club the past four seasons and with the support of Shimano Canada Limited, I am excited that together we are able to give back”, notes Shimano sales representative Charlie Bryer.
