Complimentary Ice Arena Banners for Local Associations!

In support of increasing participation in women's hockey, the Manon Rheaume Foundation and the Little Caesars Michigan Girls Hockey League have partnered together to assist local ice arena's with their efforts to increase awareness of women's hockey programming within their facility. 

 

This month each of the 24 associations who host a girls-only team in the Little Caesars Michigan Girls Hockey League will receive a complimentary banner mailed directly to their club's front office.   This custom banner is intended to be proudly displayed within the ice arena to encourage new families to seek their club's front office for more information about how to get involved in the growing sport of women's hockey. 

 

For more information or how to get involved in growing the women's game, please contact Little Caesars Michigan Girls Hockey League Commissioner Michael Wainwright - mw@sporttechshop.com
