The Warhounds Join the Gaylord Area Chamber of Commerce
The Northern Michigan Warhounds are proud to announce our official membership with the Gaylord Area Chamber of Commerce — marking another exciting step in our mission to become more than just a hockey team, but a true partner in the heart of Northern Michigan.
As one of the newest franchises in the American Premier Hockey League (APHL) and a fresh face in Gaylord’s growing business community, the Warhounds are committed to making a positive impact both on and off the ice. This Chamber membership opens the door to valuable collaboration with local businesses, organizations, and civic leaders who share a passion for building a vibrant, connected community.
“We’re not just here to play hockey. We’re here to invest in this community, bring people together, and help Gaylord thrive,” said team owner Andrew Dibble. “Joining the Chamber reinforces our belief that hockey can be a powerful tool for good.”
Through this partnership, the Warhounds aim to:
Foster relationships with local businesses and leaders
Support community events, fundraisers, and youth initiatives
Create fan-first experiences for families throughout the season
Spark regional pride and economic development
Offer year-round opportunities for engagement and entertainment
From theme nights to literacy programs to charity games, the Warhounds are here to bring energy, fun, and purpose to Gaylord. We're thrilled to work alongside fellow Chamber members and build something special together — a stronger, more connected Northern Michigan.
Stay tuned for events, promotions, and ways to get involved — and as always, Join the Pack.
