Nine games into the season and the tape is already working. Streamed games are archived and rewatched all season — your logo rides the wave every time somebody goes back to watch their kid. Figures updated October 15, 2026. Not counted: the team’s Instagram, which is run separately.
What You Get
Every Sponsor Tier · One Full Season
📺

On-Screen Rotation — 3 Per Game

Only 3 logos appear on-screen during breaks in play each game, as space is available. Logos rotate across the season, so not every sponsor appears in every game. The Thunder sponsor is the exception, with a guaranteed slot in every game.

🎙️

Audio Shoutouts — Every Stream

All sponsors get called out by name during intermission commentary on every livestreamed game — YouTube @steven.satter. Home games, exhibitions and tournaments are all streamed. No rotation, no limit — everyone's in the mix, every stream.

⭐

Your Own Feature Game

Every sponsor gets one feature game during the season — prime on-screen placement and an extended shoutout that night. Which game is yours comes down to availability and how the schedule falls, and you get a heads-up the week before so you can tune in or share it with your network.

📣

YouTube Community Post

A dedicated post to the YouTube community page welcoming your business as a sponsor — reaching every subscriber and viewer of the channel.

Logo On Every Page

Streamed All Season

FAQ
Quick Answers
How do I pay?
By cheque, for now. After you submit the form, we'll contact you with who to make it payable to and how to get it to us. Your spot is confirmed once your cheque arrives. E-transfer will be added once the team's account is set up.
Is my sponsorship tax deductible?
The team is a community amateur youth sports team — not a registered charity, so it's not a charitable donation. Most local businesses treat it as a legitimate marketing / advertising expense for local exposure. Check with your accountant.
What logo file do I need to send?
Ideal: PNG with transparent background, 500px+ wide. JPG works too. Send it after sign-up — instructions come with your confirmation. Don't have one? Send us what you've got and we'll work with it.
When does my sponsorship go live?
Logo goes up on the site within 48 hours of payment. Livestream rotation starts at the next streamed game after that. Audio shoutouts and YouTube welcome post follow on the same timeline.
Can I upgrade tiers mid-season?
Yes — if slots are still open, just pay the difference and we'll switch you over. Upgrades apply to all remaining games for the rest of the season.
What if I miss the bottle drive window?
No problem. You can still sponsor at any tier after September 20. If you'd still like us to pick up bottles, we'll work something out separately — just mention it in the notes field.
Will I get a receipt?
Yes. An invoice goes out by email once payment clears — for your records and your accountant.
Can I sponsor as an individual, not a business?
Absolutely. Enter your name in the business field and skip the website. We'll list you how you'd like — or keep it anonymous if you prefer.
