  • Hurricanes Owner Takes Swing at Pickleball

    Carolina Hurricanes owner Tom Dundon is uniting two of the major organizations behind a growing sport: pickleball.

    The NHL team owner’s Dundon Capital Partners is buying the Pro Pickleball Association and Pickleball Central. The deal for Pickleball Central includes the company’s retail business and the professional event tracking site.

    “The sport of pickleball grew by 20% last year and now counts over 4 million participants in the U.S.,” said Pickleball Central CEO and co-founder David Johnson.

    “The investment also provides a multi-million dollar commitment to enhance and extend the capabilities of the Pickleball Tournament’s state-of-the-art technology platform,” the company shared in a statement.

    • The paddle sport exploded in popularity during the pandemic, particularly among players 65 and older.
    • Cities have been building dedicated pickleball courts or allowing players to repurpose tennis courts. Pickleball is played on a 20-by-44-foot court (a tennis court is 36-by-78-feet and can accommodate multiple pickleball games).

  • Kiplinger's Personal Finance: What Pickleball Can Teach You About Investing.

    05/16/2021 2:03 PM | Carrie Collins

    If you had gym class in school, the teacher probably told you there are life lessons to be learned from playing sports. You learn how to succeed or fail with grace, the value of humility, the benefits of sharing, how to build your confidence, and so on. (Although, what getting hit in the face with a dodgeball is supposed to teach, other than pain, is hard to say.)

    What about money? Does the ability of sports to impart knowledge extend to investing? In the game of pickleball, it just might.

    How the Game Got Its Name: Pickleball is an
    unusual name for the sport we all love so we wanted to let some of the families
    who were actually there tell the story for themselves of how the game got its
    name. Travel with us now back to Bainbridge Island once again for this fun
    episode of Pickleball 411 and learn from founder Barney McCallum the story
    behind how the game got its name. Also hear first hand from Dick Brown, one of
    the four original men who helped develop the sport, and was actually in the
    room when they came up with the name pickleball.
