The IceMen will also be holding a Sponsor and Season Ticket Fair on ------Saturday August 1st, at Swonder Ice Arena in Evansville from 4:30 pm - 7:30pm. The Sponsor Fair will be conducted at the same time as the teams open tryout.

There is no cost to attend this event, and all local business owners and IceMen fans are invited to join us to meet our coaches, staff and players, purchase season and game tickets and hear about the unique opportunities to partner with the Evansville IceMen.

The IceMen have developed a sponsorship program which can be tailored to fit any sized budget, including the smallest of businesses. Opportunities include, but are not limited to, dasherboard, banners, promotional giveaways, program ads, pocket schedules, sponsoring players, coaches, mascots, and the dance team, and radio advertisements.

On the subject of sponsorship, the Evansville IceMen, and all sports teams at any level, can not survive without support from its local business community. "To keep the cost of attending an IceMen game affordable for all fans and put a winning product on and off the ice, revenue needs to be generated from outside sources." said Evansville IceMen General Manager Chip Rossetti.

"Our goal is to give every business owner in the Tri-State the ability to advertise their business with the IceMen" stated Rossetti. "We understand the importance of having your product or service known throughout the community. The IceMen provide a special opportunity to be associated with a Professional Sports Team at an affordable price, and at the same time drive traffic to your establishment. We're anxious to help promote your company, but we need your help as well."

Representatives of the Evansville IceMen will be on hand at the Sponsor Fair to review information and customize a sponsorship package that fits your organization. However, if you can not attend this event and/or you would like to discuss sponsorship of the IceMen prior to the Fair, then please feel free to contact the IceMen office to set up an appointment with one of our representatives.
