“We’re really excited to be working with NRG teammates Dizzy, Ace and Mohr – three players at the top of their game – to launch the limited edition NRG x Zippo HeatBank 9s Rechargeable Hand Warmer,” said William Kolasa, senior director of integrated marketing communications at Zippo. “This is the first step in a bigger commitment to providing gamers with the ultimate accessories to power their play.”
