​

In Season Sponsorship & Promotion

 

The Toronto Leaside Girls Hockey Association, now in its 51st year, is one of the largest female hockey associations in Canada and the world.   In fact, its participant count of 1600+ ranks it higher than the total female hockey player count in all but a small number of countries!  

​

The association’s U22 Elite team represents its pinnacle, comprised of highly skilled, committed, and competitive female players who compete in the highest-level female minor hockey league in the world, the Ontario Women’s Hockey Association (OWHA) U22 Elite League.   This community-based program is comprised of outstanding athletes who may be your neighbours, or daughters of your friends and associates.

 

Programs of this type are expensive to operate. In the current inflationary environment and with the ever-increasing cost of hockey, families bear a substantial financial burden. Without the support of generous sponsors, program costs are borne entirely by players and their families. 

​

Are you looking for ways to contribute to the growth and development of these elite female athletes? Are you a business owner looking to find new and creative ways to obtain exposure and goodwill in the community? If so, sponsoring the Leaside U22 Elite program offers a unique opportunity.

​

For businesses, sponsorship provides access to a variety of online, in-game, in-arena and social media marketing opportunities.

 

For civic-minded individuals, sponsorship provides a meaningful way to support those in your community working hard to make their dreams a reality. Specifics of what it means to participate in the program’s in-season sponsorship efforts are described in more detail below.
