Game One Names Weber President and CEO

SWANTON, OHIO (Feb. 27, 2024) — Game One appointed Pat Weber as President and Chief Executive Officer, effective February 16, 2024. Weber was the President of Game One and has more than 17 years of experience leading in the team sports and uniform business.

Weber’s background as a sales representative, retail store manager and Vice President of Operations gives him a unique understanding of every aspect of Game One’s business and the needs of its customers, according to a news release from the company.

“Pat excels at developing high-performing teams, promoting collaboration, optimizing operational efficiency, and creating growth,” said Russ Wilson, partner at the private equity firm Trivest. “His drive and relationship skills will give Game One the competitive edge.”

Said Weber: “We are incredibly passionate about our business. We believe in the power of telling team stories. It’s simply part of our DNA.”

Game One combined nine regional companies into one company in the team sports segment of the sporting goods industry.

“Taking the best practices from all 9 companies and creating a best-in-class distribution model was challenging,” Weber said. “And we are excited our team now has the tools of a new ERP, increased decoration capacity with our new 135K (square foot) facility in Ohio and a new team store experience for sales reps and customers. I think we are set up for exponential growth over the next few years.”

The group started in 2018 and was rebranded from ASB Sports to Game One in the winter of 2022. Weber worked in various capacities with Montana-based Universal Athletic, which had its team division acquired by then-ASB Sports in March 2020.
