Simply put, the Bobcats are the most popular sports
entertainment in the community, and can often be found
on the front page throughout the hockey season.
7. Better Relations with the Local
Government
Our team is proudly supported by the mayor as well as
provincial and federal government representatives. When
your company supports the Bobcats, you have one more
bargaining chip to help manage these relationships.
8. Continued Education
One of the main goals of our organization is to move players
on to the next level. Bobcats players have done exceptionally
well in this area, racking up many scholarships worth nearly
$250,000 over four years.

With initiatives that foster interaction and engagement
amongst all partners, we take deliberate measures to ensure
you get plenty of opportunities to prospect with your peers.

the ‘funnest’ business investment out there. Expect nothing
but a positive experience.
