(St. Catharines, ON) The Professional Hockey Players’ Association (PHPA) is pleased to announce a new partnership with Junk Genius, a professional junk and trash removal service.

Founded in 2007 by former PHPA Member Tom Reimann, Junk Genius is a national junk removal franchise specializing in residential and commercial junk and trash removal. Junk Genius prides itself on adhering to the highest customer service standards, while giving environmental consideration for responsible disposal of items.

As part of the partnership with the PHPA, Reimann will work with current and former PHPA Members to develop Junk Genius franchisee opportunities as a transition into a post-hockey career. PHPA Members will receive a 25% discount on the initial franchise fee and financing is available for PHPA Members and Alumni.

“The partnership with PHPA provides members with the opportunity to own and operate their own business with low start-up costs and low overhead,” said Tom Reimann, CEO of Junk Genius. I was at a crossroads in 2007 after retiring from hockey and I haven’t looked back since. Starting a Junk Genius provided me with a fulfilling business opportunity and I am thrilled at the prospect of assisting other players in taking their next career step. Professional athletes are competitive, hard working and have great contacts in the community, making them ideal candidates for owning their own businesses.”

“This partnership not only helps promote a reputable, top quality junk removal service, but will also assist PHPA Members transition into their post-hockey careers,” said Darryl Dionne, Director of Communications and Business Development for the PHPA. “Tom is willing to lend his business experience and work directly with current and former PHPA Members to develop a viable business opportunity.”
