Nepean Minor Hockey Association Seeking team sponsors

Sponsorship through civic and sports minded businesses, associations and individuals assist the NMHA in keeping the cost of minor hockey at a reasonable level, so that all children, no matter their background, have an opportunity to play this game we are so passionate about. The NMHA encourages all our members to use our sponsors businesses when shopping for services. A house league team and a Competitive team sponsorship is $300.00.  The sponsorship money is paid directly to the NMHA and it pays for such things as game ice, referee and timekeeper fees, and membership in the ODMHA.

 We are offering the sponsors the following in terms of advertising exposure:

  • The NMHA will provide the team with sponsor tags to be fitted onto each player’s sweaters.
  • A link from the NMHA web site to your web site (you will need to provide us with a copy of your logo and your web-site address providing you have a web site).  Feel free to visit our web site at www.nepeanhockey.on.ca and visit our sponsor page.
  • Team picture for display in your location will be provided at the end of the 2010-2011season.
  • To commemorate the 45th Anniversary, we will be hanging banners, which will include many of the sponsor’s names, in all the arenas.
