Morley Glass has signed to extend its ‘pivotal’ sponsorship of the Leeds Knights ice hockey team for at least the next two years.
The company will continue to be “Title Sponsors” of the team, officially named “Morley Glass Leeds Knights”, who were crowned the Planet Ice NIHL National Division Champions this year, and expectations are even higher for the 2023-24 season which begins in September.
The team say the sponsorship agreement is ‘pivotal’ as it helps to reinforce their ambition to be one of the established sporting brands in Leeds. The funding will enable the club to include new and upgraded branding within the rink and the Morley Glass logo will be prominently positioned on its new 2023-24 jersey design.
Leeds Knights MD Warwick Andrews said: “Their investment for the next two years provides us with the confidence to build for the future. Morley Glass have been instrumental in supporting the growth of the club and it will be a pleasure to work alongside them as an integral part of our team.”
Morley MD Ian Short added: “It has been amazing to see the work that everyone involved with Leeds Knights puts in, which is reflected in how much they’ve achieved in such a short period of time. We’re proud to support the team and wish them the very best of luck for next season.”
The NIHL National Division, in which Leeds Knights play, is a professional ice hockey league formed of 11 teams nationwide and is the second tier of ice hockey in the UK. Leeds Knights entered the league after the Covid pandemic, following the opening of the new 2000-capacity Planet Ice Arena in 2019.
