Sponsor the Solihull Barons

Ever dreamed of seeing your company’s name emblazoned across the chests of some of the most promising young sports stars in the region?

A unique opportunity has arisen for a major shirt sponsor for The Solihull Barons – the region’s very own ice hockey team.

The team are on the up after gaining promotion to Division 1 of the English National League for the forthcoming season, which gets under way in September and have a history in Solihull which goes back almost 50 years.

 

The Barons play and train at Solihull Ice Rink in Hobs Moat, Solihull and attract an average gate of up to 500 fans to home matches, as well as having a travelling army of supporters at their games nationwide.

The Barons are an ambitious club with a thriving junior section offering youngsters aged eight and above a chance to make it in the sport of ice hockey, which is a global participation sport and a major attraction at the Winter Olympics.

Our squad of 22 players aged 18 to 45 is
supported by a 10 person off-ice committee, who work hard behind the scenes to develop the club and raise the money needed to keep it running for the enjoyment of future generations.

 

Ice Hockey is a high speed, high impact, end to end, family sport. The Barons ENL team is the pinnacle of a range of Barons teams ranging from under 10s up to the senior team. The Barons players are largely drawn from the local community and have a long history of supporting charities in Solihull & Birmingham.

 

Sponsor the Solihull Barons

This is where we need you. The club is run on a pay to play basis, which means that all our players not only have to pay for their own kit, but also have to pay to train and play. Therefore we rely on businesses like yours to help with one of our sponsorship packages for the season, to ensure we can compete on the ice and off it.

 

Please take a look at the following details and find out how you can help us. We have sponsorship packages available to suit all budgets and can offer you a part in Solihull's sporting history as well as a starring role in its future.
