Hockey jerseys are large, colorful, and prominently branded — making them one of the most visible jersey sponsorship placements in youth sports. The chest and shoulder areas offer prime real estate for sponsor logos.
This template covers jersey, helmet decal, and practice jersey sponsorship for youth hockey teams.
Hockey jerseys have a long life and often become collector's items for families. A sponsor on a jersey gets remembered for years, not just a season.

Tips for Success
Research local market rates
Sponsorship pricing varies by region. Urban and suburban ice hockey programs can typically charge 20–40% more than rural areas. Check what other local teams charge.
Start with businesses near your venue
Businesses within 5 miles of your ice hockey field or facility are the most likely sponsors. They benefit directly from the foot traffic your team brings.
Offer multi-season discounts
A 10–15% discount for season-long or year-long commitments locks in revenue and reduces your fundraising workload. Sponsors get better ROI, too.
Include a thank-you package
Send sponsors a framed team photo, a thank-you card signed by players, or a simple impact report at the end of the season. It costs almost nothing but dramatically improves renewal rates.
Be professional in your outreach
Use your team's letterhead or email domain. Include a one-page sponsorship deck with photos. Businesses are more likely to sponsor teams that present themselves professionally.
Coordinate logo specs early
Request vector logo files (SVG or AI) from sponsors before jersey production. Low-resolution logos look unprofessional and reflect poorly on both the team and the sponsor.
