RENO, Nev., Jan. 10, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Meg Athletic Corporation (Pink Sheets:MEGJ) is pleased to announce the continued endorsement of star forward Kevin McKenna, of the Hearts Football Club in the Scottish Premier League. Mr. McKenna is a great talent that provides great diversity to the football club he plays for, with the ability to shift between defender and center forward. A great talent that will be a great asset for the Meg Athletic Corporation.
"Mr. McKenna brings a unique caliber to his game; his attributes, his skill, his talent, his charisma, more than an ideal combination. For us to get him and keep him is greatly rewarding," states Mr. Harvey Panesar, President of Meg Athletic Corporation. "It wasn't difficult to convince Kevin of becoming a part of Meg and its soccer-centric line. Kevin jumped at the opportunity and we are truly glad that we have him to help build our brand."
Meg has incorporated a different vision than its predecessor company, one that encourages input from the stars that support the brand. "We are lucky that we are attracting such quality talent, that we felt it was a unique opportunity to ask them what they would like to see and wear what they felt comfortable in," quoted Mr. Panesar. "This makes these superstars feel like part of the building process, and the response has been tremendous."
Kevin has tallied over 20 goals since coming to Scotland in March of 2001. Kevin has helped Hearts reach the League Cup semi-final in February of 2003, as well as top 3 finishes in the 2002/03 and 2003/04 season play.
"I have a great respect for the people behind Meg," states Kevin McKenna. "As soon as I saw their vision, I knew that I wanted to be a part of what they were doing, what they were building. I am more than excited that I am given the opportunity to be a part of a brand such as Meg; this is a real treat!"
"We knew from the onset that we would have a positive reaction and from this instance forward, we were determined to let everyone share in the vision for our brand and we are elated that these superstars are coming on board with Meg," states Mr. Panesar.
