This is the 41st Buyers Guide published by Athletic Business — the first having launched the Athletic Purchasing & Facilities brand back in 1977. As the story goes, founder Fenton Kelsey Jr. was working to construct an indoor ice arena in Madison, Wis., but couldn't find any references to guide him through the construction process or future management. So he decided to create one.

That first Buyers Guide weighed in at just 48 pages — a testament to an industry still in its infancy. Over time, the industry has evolved, and so has our Buyers Guide, driven, of course, by the professionals we serve.
