Violent Gentlemen x Anaheim Ducks: Check On Your Teammates®

On October 10, World Mental Health Day, Violent Gentlemen and our Check On Your Teammates® initiative proudly partnered with the Anaheim Ducks to launch a season-long effort focused on mental health awareness and supporting our community.

Hockey has always been about more than what happens on the ice. It's about the friendships, the communities, and the people who stand beside us through the good times and the difficult ones.

That's what Check On Your Teammates® has always been about. A simple reminder that reaching out and checking in on someone can make a difference.

Supporting Youth Mental Health

Through this partnership, we're raising funds and awareness for Rady Children's Health's WellSpaces program, which helps create safe, welcoming spaces in schools where students can find support and access mental health resources.

Throughout the 2026-27 season, fans can support the initiative through exclusive Ducks x Violent Gentlemen Check On Your Teammates® merchandise, including hats and shirts available at the Honda Center Team Store and online.

The partnership also kicked off with a special online auction featuring autographed hats and Ducks memorabilia, with proceeds benefiting the WellSpaces program.

Check On Your Teammates®: Item of the Game

On October 13, the Anaheim Ducks featured our Check On Your Teammates® collection as their Item of the Game, helping bring our message to thousands of hockey fans.

What started as a simple reminder within our hockey community continues to grow into something much bigger.

We're grateful to the Anaheim Ducks for believing in our mission and helping us continue these important conversations.

This partnership isn't about one game, one collection, or one day of awareness. It's about making mental health a conversation we continue having throughout the season and beyond.

Rep the message. Support the cause. Check On Your Teammates®.
