kovalchuk71 212 Report post Posted May 25, 2008 Hey guys, I am making a team for my brother and his friends this year (travel). I am looking for money for practices mainly and maybe some tournaments. My question is, who is the best to ask for sponsorship money? Real Estate Agents? Restaraunts? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RadioGaGa 162 Report post Posted May 25, 2008 Restaurants and Bars are big for sponsorships around here. I'm sure that is fairly universal.If you are planning a fall/winter team, approach whoever you decide to go to early before they commit money to other teams.

I think they got a grand from two seperate companies, for both jerseys. Popular demand.As RadioGaGa said, bars and restaurants are good sponsorship money. They want you to come drink and eat after the game though, so if you are not going to do that, they might commit to a group that will. I would say those are the two best to hit up for cash!

cougarscaptain87 12 Report post Posted October 30, 2008 didnt even think about that, we have a ton of radio stations and shit around here and detroit. i wish we were older becsaue while some bars may sponsor us, were all 18, 19, 20, or 21. so only a few of us can actually contribute to the bar. im gonna try a bunch of local resturaunts. just curious.... fo you guys think that since my team is mostly canadien, with only 3 americans will hurt my chances of getting american sponsors since most the team doesnt live here so they wouldnt beable to contribute to the business?
