Cizzle Brands Expands CWENCH Hydration with USA Hockey and Nathan MacKinnon Collaborations

Sports nutrition innovator Cizzle Brands Corporation has announced a dual product launch for its flagship CWENCH Hydration™ line, introducing two new performance-focused flavours: Miracle On Ice™ and Golden Berry.

The new SKUs leverage high-profile sporting partnerships to drive brand relevance, teaming up with USA Hockey and NHL superstar Nathan MacKinnon respectively. The launch aims to capture the "championship mentality" demographic, positioning the hydration product as essential fuel for high-intensity moments.

Flavour Architecture and Partnerships

The expansion introduces thematic flavour profiles designed to resonate with specific sports narratives.

Miracle On Ice™ (USA Hockey Collaboration) Developed pursuant to the partnership announced in early 2025, this flavour pays homage to the US hockey team’s legendary 1980 victory over the Soviet Union in Lake Placid.

Flavour Profile: A patriotic blend of cherry, citrus, and blue raspberry, engineered to replicate the taste of a classic rocket ice pop.
Positioning: Described as "fast, refreshing, and built for clutch moments," targeting players and fans chasing their own breakthroughs.

Golden Berry (Nathan MacKinnon Collaboration) Launched as a Limited-Time Offering (LTO), this flavour was developed in conjunction with Canadian NHL forward Nathan MacKinnon.

Flavour Profile: A bold, refreshing sweet-tart taste.
Inspiration: The concept pays tribute to MacKinnon's relentless work ethic and aims to inspire Canadians ahead of the Milan-Cortina games.

Formulation and Market Context

Both new additions maintain CWENCH’s core performance formulation, featuring 6+ electrolytes and zero sugar, aligning with the functional demands of modern athletes.

John Celenza, Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Cizzle Brands, commented on the strategy: "Golden Berry and Miracle On Ice™ represent our commitment to innovation and athlete-centred product experiences. With Golden Berry, we teamed up with Nathan because his work ethic and dedication define championship mentality. Miracle On Ice™ is a tribute to a defining moment in sports history... These flavours aren’t just about great taste — they’re about the mindset and grit it takes to win."

Commercial Availability

The new flavours are rolling out across North American grocery, convenience, and speciality channels immediately, complementing the brand's growing footprint in key retail accounts.
