Player Sponsor

Player Sponsorship is an important part of our annual team preparation and economic base. We use the funds to help cover the costs of running a 28 person squad and up to 10 team staff.  Although we are a NON - PROFESSIONAL league, we do not ask our players to 'pay to play' and every year we endeavor to create a more cost neutral playing environment for them. That includes air travel, accommodation, meals, unforms, equipment, trainers, physios and all training and game ice time - over $300K per annum. 

Some examples of the high costs for a sport like Ice Hockey;

• The cost of ICE TIME [for all training and games] $450.00 per hour and we use about 100 hours per year.
• We travel with a crew of 22 players and team staff [all by air] for each travel weekend.
• A hockey stick costs $440.00 and our players use / break 3-4 per season.
• A pair of Gloves and Helmet cost $300.00 each.

and 

• We sharpen at least 200 pairs of skates per season

In 2024 you can sponsor any player for $1500.00, and a player can have multiple sponsors. 2024 Members just pay $1200.00 as they already have seats or standing allocated 

- prices include GST.

In return, you will receive: 

• Two tickets to every home game in our Bay 2 Sponsors Area [close to the BENCH] for non -  members.
• One KARCHER VIP Experience for a table of 4 at any Saturday or Sunday Game to bring your family or work colleagues.
• Two tickets to our exclusive sponsor CURLING event and throughout the season. 
• Two tickets to Skate with the players and all other member events.

The full 2025 player list will be published on March 1. Until then you can NOMINATE your preferred player [and second option] from December 1, 2024. They will be allocated on a first in basis and confirmed in February 2025. No Deposits are required.
