Zach Hyman has showcased his multifaceted talents to both the NHL community and his fan base. As his career begins to ascend with the Edmonton Oilers, following six seasons with the Toronto Maple Leafs, he has emerged as a pivotal component of the top 6 and has significantly boosted the production of Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl.

Furthermore, he has broadened his involvement in personal projects, including authoring several acclaimed children's books. Additionally, he has taken on the role of co-founder for a company that offers an NFT collection known as "Bubblegum Kids." He's also launched actual bubblegum, and Canadians can buy it in store!

On July 3rd, 2022, he made an official revelation about his position as co-founder on the Bubblegum NFT Twitter account.

To briefly explain, an NFT which is relatively new to the world, stands for "non-fungible tokens" and is typically offered on the crypto networks, such as Ethereum and other blockchain platforms, for people to purchase. These NFTs are commonly used by digital artists and individuals in the real estate industry to safeguard their products, preventing duplication or false claims of ownership.

Since the release of his NFT collection, Hyman has generated millions of dollars in sales, and it is expected to experience exponential growth as more people become aware of this burgeoning space.
