PPC Locker Sponsor registration open for ‘22-‘23 season!
Locker sponsorships are now available for the 2022-2023 season! Locker sponsorships require a minimum tax-deductible donation of $600.00 (per locker), with all funds going to the Gopher Women’s Hockey Enhancement Fund to support the team.
Member benefits include the Power Play Club membership, a photo with your player, and meal with your player and the team on a game day (tentatively set for January 7, 2023).
GWH fans who are interested in sponsoring a player’s or coach's locker should contact Rennie McPherson at susanmcp@drsusanmcp.com. Please provide FIVE names of players and/or coaches you are interested in sponsoring; we try to make sure that each player is sponsored before doubling and tripling up. The current team roster – including the incoming players – can be found at gophersports.com/sports/womens-ice-hockey/roster.
