There are no whole NHL teams who are sponsored by a company such as NikeBauer or Easton but individual players. Some players who are sponsored by NikeBauer would be Eric Staal, Evgeni Malkin, Phil Kessel, and many more.
No, players that are able to make teams as early as the junior level are sponsored according to the contracts their teams have with equipment manufacturers such as Bauer, Nike and KOHO.

Bauer has been in hockey for a long time. Nike pretty much just paid to have their logo put on equipment designed by Bauer. I would say Nike/Bauer is a great company for hockey. But it depends on your taste.
I sent a goalie stick through my Division 1 college team to the Bauer Factory in Greenland, NH. There may be others as well, but there is one in New Hampshire for sure.
