Sponsorship Coordinator - Charlie Legg
Charlie grew up in New York, attending college at SUNY Plattsburgh, just north of where the Miracle on Ice took place in 1980. His passion for hockey began at an early age, taking notice when the NHL introduced dasherboard ads in the mid-80s. This led indirectly to a career executing advertising and sports sponsorship strategies for brands including GEICO, John Deere, Turner Sports, NBC Sports, Truist, and the United States Marine Corps.
In 2009, Charlie led the negotiation of GEICO’s inaugural NHL deal as the official insurance partner of the league, including activation of the brand at the 2010 Winter Classic in Boston and the Awards show in Vegas. Charlie also managed sponsor relations with Madison Square Garden for 10 years while working for an agency in NYC alongside his beloved NY Rangers.
His last experience with PTC hockey was participating in Saturday night stick times before COVID until this past season. After attending a learn to skate with his son, his passion for the sport was successfully passed down to the next generation.
Charlie’s mission as PTC hockey sponsorship coordinator is to help our sponsors, players, and the league grow alongside each other as true partners, paving the way for the next generation of skaters.
- Secretary – Stephanie Barth
Born and raised in the desert heat of Phoenix, AZ, I somehow became a big hockey fan—proving that a love for the sport can thrive even in triple-digit weather. We recently made the move to Georgia to be closer to family—because what's better than cheering from the stands? Cheering with your grandparents. My family has caught the hockey bug too! We joined the organization just last year, and have really enjoyed the camaraderie and friendships we have formed here.
Having followed the sport for years, I understand the value of teamwork, efficiency, and clear communication. Now, I'm bringing my passion for the sport—and my caffeine-fueled organizational skills— to ensure easier operations and better outcomes for everyone involved now and in the future. My mission? To streamline our processes so efficiently, even a Zamboni would be impressed!
