I am delighted to welcome you to our sponsorship opportunities for season 2024-25.
Whitley Warriors are a club steeped in the traditions of British Ice Hockey and respected across the UK. This year marks the 60th anniversary of the formation of Whitley Warriors and we want you to be a part of it.
We are excited for the season ahead and believe we can, with your help make the Warriors a force on and off the ice. As we embark on our anniversary year the following information will outline a number of ways you can help us.
From shirt sponsorship to our prestigious club sponsor we value all our sponsors equally and aim to give them value for money and the chance to be part of our winning team.
Whitley Warriors is a name known across the UK and we aim to wear that name with pride and want your company alongside us. We wish to work with the local community and schools, aiming to introduce young people to ice hockey and a healthier lifestyle through sport. We will continue our work around mental health issues and make the Warriors a vehicle for change.
I am truly excited for the season ahead and being Head Coach of the Warriors and look forward to working with your business.
