Toronto Wolfpack RLFC (“Toronto Wolfpack”) is set to become the
first professional sporting team to enter the thriving CBD-infused
products marketplace. Toronto Wolfpack and its 100% owned
subsidiary HowlBrands Inc. have entered into a definitive agreement
with ICC International Cannabis Corp. (CSE: WRLD.U)(FWB:8K51)(OTC:
WLDCF) and Organic Flower Investments Group Inc. (CSE:
SOW)(FWB:2K6)(OTC: QILFF) to launch a suite of athlete-focused
cannabidiol products to market.
Toronto Wolfpack and HowlBrands plan to release their inaugural
CBD-infused topical cream, ‘Rugby Strength’, in the coming months.
Rugby Strength is custom-formulated to combat acute aches and pains
and absorbs quickly to deliver strong and deep-seated relief. It is
made with full-spectrum CBD extract from 100% organically grown
hemp and blend of natural ingredients, containing zero THC and
therefore has no psychoactive effects.
This new venture sees the Wolfpack stepping into the CBD market
that has been estimated to reach US$22 billion by 2022, while
looking to modernise the way not just athletes but everyone deals
with pain.
HowlBrandsHowlBrands is a branding and product
development company at the nexus of sports and wellness with a
special focus on CBD. David Argyle, Chairman of the Toronto
Wolfpack spoke regarding the unprecedented venture:
“HowlBrands aims to interact with consumers within, across and
beyond rugby and sports. In the same way that one does not have to
be an athlete or play sports to wear Nike shoes, one does not have
to be an athlete or play sports to use Rugby Strength or other
HowlBrands products. Anyone who experiences pain, soreness or
physical discomfort can use Rugby Strength.”
Eva Allouche, Head of Global Brands for HowlBrands, discussed
the goal of the partner-ship:
“Our goal is to bridge the gap between professional sports and
CBD to offer athletes, active people and anyone who experiences
physical discomfort, a range of unique wellness products that
deliver the indisputable therapeutic benefits of hemp-based CBD.
HowlBrands is about more than offering a pain solution for athletes
and active people, it is about deepening the meaning of wellness
through brands that open up the discourse around holistic
approaches to taking proper care of ourselves. HowlBrands is about
enriching the lives of people.”
Go-To-Market StrategyHowlBrands launch strategy
will be executed online in the US and UK and will leverage an
expansive distribution network of 80,000 retail outlets and
pharmacies as well as GMP certified facilities.International
Cannabis and Organic Flower are critical to a worldwide
distribution plan that will see several CBD-infused product lines
becoming available through HowlBrands. This includes topical
creams, therapeutic relief balms, sport pain tinctures, soaks and
roll-ons, all uniquely engineered to be fast-absorbing and deeply
penetrating.In line with the core values of the Toronto Wolfpack, a
portion of the proceeds from Rugby Strength will be reinvested into
the development of rugby around the world.
