Honoring Service, Preserving Legacy 🇺🇸...

Connor Sports is proud to support the West Side Veterans Council in Michigan's Upper Peninsula through a recent wood donation that will be used to create handcrafted tribute display boxes honoring local veterans.

These meaningful display cases serve as lasting reminders of the honor, loyalty, courage, and sacrifice demonstrated by the men and women who have served our country. Each box provides a place to respectfully showcase ceremonial shell casings and commemorate the lives and service of departed veterans.

We are grateful for the opportunity to contribute to a project that helps preserve the stories, service, and legacy of those who have given so much for our nation.

Thank you to the West Side Veterans Council for the important work you do in honoring our heroes and supporting the veteran community throughout the Upper Peninsula.

The University of Iowa Iowa Men's Basketball and Iowa Women's Basketball has officially installed a new Connor Sports hardwood floor at Carver-Hawkeye Arena, featuring the same NCAA Tournament court used during the 2026 NCAA Houston Regional Elite Eight. This unique project brings a piece of college basketball's biggest stage directly to one of the most iconic venues in the Big Ten Conference.

The new maple playing surface replaces the arena's previous floor, which had been in service since 2016. For the first time since Carver Hawkeye Arena opened in 1983, the facility has transitioned from its traditional parquet design to a modern single-surface court while maintaining the Hawkeyes' recognizable identity.

As the official court provider for NCAA NCAA Men's Final Four and NCAA Women's Final Four, Connor Sports takes great pride in delivering championship-caliber performance from the Final Four and Elite Eight to collegiate campuses across the country.

Congratulations to the University of Iowa on this exciting upgrade. We are honored to help create the next chapter of Iowa Hawkeyes basketball on a floor built for the game's biggest moments.

We were honored to welcome the NCAA Men's Final Four Fan Jam to the Connor Sports manufacturing mill in Crystal Falls, Michigan, where the craftsmanship behind some of the game's most iconic courts comes to life.

This visit was more than a stop on a statewide tour. It was an opportunity to recognize and celebrate the employees whose hard work, precision, and dedication ensure every Connor Sports floor is built to the highest standards of performance, safety, and quality.

Events like this are a chance to give back to the team members whose craftsmanship, dedication, and attention to detail make March Madness possible.

Maple hardwood sports floors are helping tell an important sustainability story.

Many people do not realize that carbon remains stored in wood products for the life of the product. Whether it becomes a board, a desk, or a sports floor, wood can continue storing carbon while also connecting people to the value of sustainable forestry and responsible manufacturing.

In 2024–2025, the Maple Flooring Manufacturers Association and its member mills invested in sustainability by building environmental literacy, supporting education around carbon storage and sequestration, collaborating with sports sustainability networks, and creating K–12 STEM lesson plans focused on forestry, the carbon cycle, and sustainable wood products.

Basketball floors provide a unique opportunity to help the public understand the connection between wood in sports and wood in the built environment.

Wood products can help bridge sport, sustainability, and the built environment.
