Sponsors

Suburban Lions Hockey Club (SLHC) is an amateur, non-profit sporting club whose ability to operate relies on the support from our members, sponsors, and “Lions Community Partners” giving their financial assistance, time, and resources. Every dollar generated is put into the development of our players such as the “Excellence in Coaching” program, the maintenance and improvement of facilities and services, and the development of the sport in the community.

Our sponsors contribute financially and with opportunities to members within the club which helps reduce the overall financial impost to members making the sport more accessible and promoting positive community values.

The individuals and families that consistently and generously contribute to the club with their time and resources form the “Lions Community Partners”. We show our appreciation by encouraging members to support their businesses.
