Whitley Warriors are delighted to announce that they will be teaming up with the world renowned videogame company SEGA for the upcoming season. This is a massive coup for the club, to be associated with such a global leader, myself and Paul Matthews are extremely proud and excited that we have forged this new partnership with SEGA and thank them very much for agreeing to support the Warriors this season. Not only will SEGA be prominent on the shoulders of our shirts this season, they will also be sponsoring our newly named SEGA EASTSIDE HOCKEY MANAGER HOTSHOT competition, where fans will have the opportunity to win their newly released Eastside Hockey Manager game, and test themselves in the Hockey hot seat.
This is another massively positive step for our club as we gear up for the season ahead.
This is the first of many exciting corporate partnerships we have in place for the up and coming campaign and we would urge you to keep your eye on the press for future release.
