Player Sponsorship

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 endeavour 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 $500K 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 2027, you can sponsor any player for $2,290.00, and each player can only have 1 sponsor. 

If you have seats or tickets already allocated through a Membership then you just pay $1,590.00 - 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. [Value $1000.00]
• One KARCHER VIP Experience for a table of 4 at any Saturday or Sunday Game to bring your family or work colleagues [Value $700.00].
• Your players' AWAY JERSEY at the conclusion of the season [Value $350.00].
• Two tickets to our exclusive sponsor CURLING event and throughout the season [Value $100.00].
• Two tickets to Skate with the players and all other member events [Value $60.00].
• Two tickets to our Annual  Awards Dinner [Value $250.00].

The full 2027 player list is published now and as we add extra players, the list will be updated.
