Advertising Opportunity

Hello, As you might be able to tell, I play hockey. Ice hockey, actually, and in Florida! Yeah I know, it's weird! I've been playing since I was 5 years old and currently play on a Jr B team at a rink an hour from my house. We are the first ever Jr B team in the state of Florida and the majority of our games are played out of state. As you can imagine, it gets quite expensive. So expensive I'm still undecided on whether I will be playing this year with the cost of gas on top of league fees.

Anyway, to help offset some of these expenses, our coach puts together a player profile book complete with players backgrounds, grades, birthplace, etc... This book is handed out at every game we play for scouting purposes. We also sell advertisement space in the book to help raise money for the team. Half the money I raise over $300 goes to my season costs, the other half and first $300 are spread amongst the rest of the team.

This book reaches thousands of college scouts, hockey coaches, hockey parents, hockey players, etc... So I figured this might be a good place for some of you to advertise. I wouldn't recommend this to companies with physical businesses as this is spread out from Florida to Maine to New York and more. But as far as companies with a web site, I think it would definitely be an asset to your business.

Ads range from $50 for a small text ad to $1000 for dasher boards (the ads on the hockey boards you see at NHL games) and plenty in between. This would help me out so much and I think it would also greatly benefit your business! Please feel free to contact me at hockeyplyr1034@yahoo.com, send me a PM, or reply to this post if you are interested or have any questions. I will provide the official advertisement form from my team in an email and even send you some more details on the team or contact info for my coach or rink if you'd like. Thanks for your time!

You wouldn't be interested in sponsoring 2 teams would ya? That's really funny, we're also doing a golf tournament soon. Somebody stole somebody else's fundraising ideas here lol. Yeah, it is crazy expensive and I'm not gonna be playing without some money from these ads! Thanks for the reply!
