2018 ECSL PARTNERSHIP
The East Coast Super League (ECSL) is excited to announce the revival of a strong partnership between the ECSL and Skaters Network (SN) for the 2018 hockey season. Much like the East Coast Super League, Skaters Network have a passion for hockey and growing the sport in NSW and Australia.
Skaters Network is Australia's leading distributor of Ice Hockey, Inline Hockey and Figure Skating equipment, and are the Official supplier of BAUER, MISSION, EASTON, RISPORT, MK and WILSON BLADES and many more accessories brands.
Both Skaters Network and the ECSL are looking constantly at growing their respective organisations, both focusing to maintain a competitive edge and grooming young athletes with future aspirations of representing their state and country.
This year Skaters Network will be selecting an ECSL player of the month and they will receive a $250 SN gift voucher to be redeemed at their Sydney store. At the end of the season, Skaters Network will also contribute a total of $1000 prize money to three ‘full time ECSL players’ (not a midget or current AIHL player) broken down to three categories:
- League MVP - $500
- Defenceman of the year - $300
- Rookie of the Year - $200
“We hope that this extra incentive will excite the players and give them a little extra to play for each week.” Matt Pease (Skaters Network Brand Manager).
On top of this generous donation of prizemoney Skaters Network is also supplying the league Skaters Network branded pucks and water bottles to be distributed amongst its five teams. They have also committed to a generous donation of raffle prizes and sponsorship to be used in the upcoming ECSL charity game in a bid to raise money for this year’s charity of choice.
"Supplying the league with pucks and water bottles will bring a greater sense of professionalism and structure to each team and we are honoured to be a part of that step forward, we are also excited at the endeavour of building the league more and more every year and as we grow we hope that the ECSL will grow with us." Sean Sonter (Skaters Network Brand/Marketing Coordinator)
"We are thrilled that the Skaters Network team have continued to come on board in support our league and we are extremely excited about this ongoing relationship, we hope that it will continue to be a long-term partnership in the interests of both parties. Both the ECSL and Skaters Network are committed to developing young Australian talent, so it is awesome that Skaters Network is interested in supporting a first year ECSL rookie" Les Adams (ECSL President)
The East Coast Super League (ECSL) would like to thank Skaters Network for their ongoing support of the All-Star games the past 4 years
