Our Story
Veteran-owned. Family-operated. Based in Tooele, Utah.
Tournament Tired was started in 2025 by Dawson Gilgen, a U.S. Army infantry veteran, and his wife, Kelsey. Dawson served in Afghanistan before trading Army life for a different kind of busy: raising a family, chasing hockey and cheer schedules, and making custom gear.
Built by a family powered by hockey, cheer, and tournament chaos, we make custom apparel, embroidered hats, and team merchandise for the people who show up—in the stands, at the rink, and everywhere in between.
When you order from Tournament Tired, you’re supporting our family business right here in Tooele. Thanks for being part of it.
