My name is Zac Herrmann and I am the founder of ETR Outfitters. Growing up in Buffalo I didn't have too many outdoor experiences, like hiking, so I never really got into it until I went away to play junior hockey. I left home when I was 17 to play in Burlington, Ontario. From there I moved onto Omaha, Nebraska and finally down to Odessa, Texas. Being a junior hockey player it’s nice to get away from the rink and experience the different places you get a chance to live in. It wasn’t until my last year of junior in Odessa, Texas where I really fell in love with the outdoors and had the idea to create my own brand. I wanted to create something that related to both of my favorite things. Travel and Hockey.Â
Â
I recently retired from professional hockey. I had the opportunity to travel the world and play hockey in England, Germany as well as Pensacola, Florida and Cincinnati, Ohio. It’s been great to be back and grow the brand locally. I am super excited to continue forward with ETR and can’t thank everyone enough for their support throughout the years.Â

Cheers,
Zac
