We're excited to announce that Ontario Pickleball Academy (OPA) is officially on board as our new equipment sponsor.
The Canadian National Pickleball League is thrilled to announce that Ontario Pickleball Academy (OPA) is officially on board as our new equipment sponsor: and we couldn't have asked for a better partner to outfit our players this season.
What makes this partnership extra special? OPA is led by two familiar faces: Dan and Mark Gottfried, both former CNPL players who know firsthand what it takes to compete at the highest level of pickleball in Canada. Now, they're channeling that experience into delivering top-tier paddles and gear to players from coast to coast.
From recreational picklers to seasoned pros, OPA has built a reputation for quality, performance, and a genuine love of the game: values that align perfectly with what the CNPL stands for. Their paddles are designed by players, for players, and we're proud to have them as the official equipment of the league.
"Having Dan and Mark in our corner means our athletes get equipment built by people who truly understand the game," said the CNPL team. "We're excited to grow the sport together."
This partnership kicks off just in time for the Club Med Season Opener on May 9–10 at The Picklr Toronto West, where you'll see OPA gear in action across the courts. Stay tuned for exclusive offers, giveaways, and behind-the-scenes content with Dan and Mark throughout the season.
Welcome to the CNPL family, OPA. The North serves back: and now we're serving with the best.
