This market has done it before.
From 1992 to 2018 the RiverKings made this one of the South's great minor-league hockey markets: two championships and a generation of loyal fans. After eight years without a team, the Monarchs bring professional hockey back to DeSoto County and the greater Memphis area.
A founding partnership puts your name into the franchise from the first season, with in-arena, digital and community platforms built around what your business needs, not a rate card.
Founding-partner inventory is limited to the inaugural season.
Six ways to be part of game night.
Most partnerships combine two or three of these. We build the mix around your goals, then put it in writing.
Ice & in-arena branding
Dasher boards, in-ice logos, Zamboni branding, concourse signage and video-board features, seen on every home date.
Jersey & equipment
Placement on game-worn jerseys and helmets, the most photographed real estate in hockey.
Digital & broadcast
Live-stream integrations, social content series, email and web presence that reach fans beyond the arena.
Game night presenting
Own a night: presenting rights, intermission activations, giveaways and theme nights built around your brand.
Community & youth hockey
School programs, learn-to-play and player appearances that put your name at the center of the community.
Suites & hospitality
Suites, club access and ticket packages for entertaining clients and rewarding your team.
Where your brand shows up.
Thousands of fans a night, a live stream that travels with the team, and a building that's loud from warmups to the final horn.
Which partnership fits your business?
Two questions. You'll get the platforms that match, and a person follows up with real options.
