The Upper Valley’s hockey community is extensive. Each year, we fill Union Arena as this tournament grows into a premier local event. Corporate sponsorship is a powerful way to demonstrate your business’s commitment to LOCAL student-athletes and the "kids helping kids" mission.
Each team is required to reach a fundraising goal of $1,000. To achieve this, teams may secure a "Team Sponsor" and collect a $25 contribution from each player. These funds are vital; they cover the cost of uniforms, ice time, and officials, with 50% of the net proceeds going directly to the winning team’s chosen charity.
TOURNAMENT SPONSOR | $2,500
The premier partnership. Your company name will be attached to the tournament title in all advertising, digital media, and reporting.
TEAM SPONSOR | $1,000
Support a specific roster. Team sponsors will be recognized prominently in the tournament program and announced over the PA system prior to every game that team plays.
COMMUNITY SPONSOR | $500
Show your local pride. Your company logo will be displayed on tournament signage and featured within the official program.
BENCH SPONSOR | $100
A great way for small businesses to help. Bench Sponsors will be featured in the "Friends of the Tournament" section of our program.
PLAYER SPONSOR | $25
Directly supports one student-athlete’s fundraising requirement, ensuring every child can participate regardless of financial standing. This level of sponsorship is provided by officially registering your player
The Three C’s: Community, Character, & Competition This tournament is built on three pillars. Each team identifies a charity or non-profit from their Community to play for. Coaches emphasize Character, but the tournament remains a play-to-win Competition.
Where the Money Goes The tournament is presented by Woodstock Youth Hockey and the Woodstock Varsity Hockey Boosters (both Vermont 501c3s).
50% of all funds raised will be awarded to the winning team’s chosen charity.
The remainder supports Woodstock Youth Hockey’s commitment to providing low-cost, high-quality programming.
The Fundraising Requirement This is a fundraiser first. To ensure a real impact, we have instituted a $1,000 minimum fundraising goal per team.
While we don’t expect coaches to do the heavy lifting, we need you to impress upon your families that this is a requirement of entry. Every hockey experience has a fee; in this case, we simply give half of it to charity.
How to Reach the Goal: To make this easy and involve the players:
The Player Kickoff: Collect $25 from each player to build an immediate foundation (achieved through player registration).
Team Sponsorships: Seek a local business sponsor to cover the balance and offset costs.
Why Participation Matters Last year, fundraising was unbalanced, with one team contributing less than $150. This year, we want 100% buy-in to keep the "kids helping kids" spirit alive. To keep things interesting, we’ll be building some healthy competition around the fundraising totals!
