TORONTO, January 26, 2018 (Newswire.com) - Prior to their All-Star Game in Utica, New York, on Friday, Jan. 29, 2018, it was announced that Commerce Dynamics Inc. has partnered with The American Hockey League (The AHL) as the "Official Auction Provider" of the AHL Authentic Program located at https://www.ahlauthentic.com. The Commerce Dynamics OpenCanvas platform will be used exclusively on all league-generated auctions, including the Ace Bailey Children's Foundation Charity Auction, 2018 AHL All-Star Classic and 2018 Calder Cup Final Auctions.

"Commerce Dynamics is the industry leader in providing fully branded auction marketplaces to sports leagues in North America.
