In a recent survey* of hockey fans, Skip found that over 70%* of fans like to chow down while watching the game. As a Canadian brand, Skip knows hockey as well as they know food delivery - which is why they understand that you can't risk missing a minute of the action due to a mid-game spillage situation.

As Canadians gear up for their game day viewing experience - Skip continues to lead the way in In-Active Wearable Tech to protect fans from a potential game day catastrophe - worse than missing a short-handed, game-winning goal. In 2021, Skip introduced the iconic Playoff Pants, which featured comfortable stretchy pants with built-in napkins to wipe away sauces and mess. This NHL® season, Skip is proud to introduce The GameTime Tarp to combat messy food casualties - talk about a win.

Made with absorbent fibres, the SkipGameTime Tarp is an all-purpose fashion item that includes a towel-lined front pocket for any snacking need. To bring this functional fashion-forward piece to life, Skip re-enlisted Canadian fashion designer, Izzy Camilleri to develop this evolution with fans, gamers, and multi-tasking eaters in mind.

"As a Canadian company we're constantly reimagining the at-home hockey viewing experience and the ways we can elevate it," says Phil Sylver, Head of Creative, Brand & Content at SkipTheDishes. "The GameTime Tarp is a testament to our team's understanding of true fandom, and how Skip can make these moments even more fun".
