Jersey Sponsor
Since we are a non-varsity sport, the Tennessee Hockey team is not bound by NCAA rules regarding corporate logos on jerseys.  Therefore, we are able to place your company’s logo in a predetermined location on our jerseys  (either the front shoulders, or below the number on the back).  This is one of the most beneficial sponsorships we provide, based on the attention and visual exposure for your business not only here in Knoxville, but on all of our road trips to Nashville, Atlanta, Lexington, the Carolinas, Florida, and elsewhere. Cost of the sponsorship is $2,500 per set; or $5000 for all jerseys. This sponsorship is unique in that it last for the complete life of the jersey, usually four years.

Schedule Poster Sponsorship
Similar to a schedule card  sponsorship, a poster sponsorship will ensure your company’s logo and information is seen by the maximum number of people.  With your sponsorship of our annually released schedule posters, your logo will be displayed prominently everywhere somebody hangs and Ice Vol schedule poster.  The past few seasons, our posters have featured The girls of Alpha Delta Pi sorority, Phi Mu sorority, and Corrine Paradise-Tennessee’s representative in Girls of the SEC

Schedule Card Sponsorship
The biggest bargain and value among our sponsorships is the schedule card sponsor.  Tennessee Hockey schedule cards are handed out to an extraordinary number of Knoxville businesses and to ALL fans, as well as numerous places around UT’s campus.

Game Program Advertising
Printed ads placed in our Game Programs and Media Guide will ensure your company’s name to be circulated to a large number of fans and media.  Inside, it contains schedules, stats, player and coach bios, and a comprehensive team history.  Programs will also be sold prior to select home football games, and will be handed out at various Knoxville businesses.  Special promotions can be created using your ad, and all advertisers receive in-game PA mentions.

Sponsorship Information

Greetings from Tennessee Ice Hockey! Allow me to introduce you to the fastest sport played at the University of Tennessee.  The Tennessee Ice Vols are entering their 43rd season of intercollegiate play in 2009-10.  The Ice Vols are members of the American Collegiate Hockey Association (ACHA) a group of over 350 collegiate hockey programs from across the nation. We play against other Southeastern Conference rivals such as Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Vanderbilt, South Carolina, and Florida in addition to major universities across the nation like Florida State, Georgia Tech, South Florida, Illinois, and Texas.

In 2008-2009, Tennessee claimed its third consecutive regular-season conference title, inagural Southeastern Collegiate Hockey Conference Tournament Championship and the ACHA South Regional Tournament Championship.  The team went on to finish 11th place in its return to the National Tournament. The club also had two players named to the ACHA All-Regional team and one ACHA All-America selection. As well, several players were named to the Academic All-American Team, after maintaining a GPA of 3.20 or higher. 

This past season, the team was awarded a #4 seed in the South Region, meaning we were awarded with our third consecutive trip to the National Tournament in Rochester, NY.  The team finished 11th place overall. We look forward to repeat and improve on the above accomplishments with your help.

Despite our success, as a non-varsity sport the Tennessee Hockey program does not receive ANY funding from the UT Athletic Department. All of our funding comes from player dues, merchandise sales, ticket revenue, and most importantly—sponsorships!  The growing exposure our team is enjoying can provide new and exciting opportunities for your company.

As a team sponsor, you can choose to have your name and logo shown on team marketing media, in our official team program/media guide, or even on our jerseys!  All of our sponsors have their logo and a link to your website placed on our award-winning website, www.icevols.com, which has registered over 145,000 hits since its launch. With any of the following opportunities, you can count on your company receiving maximum recognition as an official Tennessee Hockey sponsor.

We appreciate the opportunity to bring your company into the Tennessee Hockey family.  You can contact us directly via phone or email us to learn more about the program, or further discuss your partnership opportunities.
