PARTNERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
Hockey fans are one of the most sought-after audiences

junior hockey teams, we’ve got an entertainment offering
that is second to none. And with a renewed focus on
marketing - designed to attract more families, casual fans
and young fans than ever before - you can expect to see
our fan base continue to grow.
The Windsor Spitfires offer a wide range of advertising
and promotional properties designed to get your
company brand in front of a premium audience. Contact
our sales and marketing department today to explore the
many ways for you to become a Windsor Spitfires partner.
