The past year has been incredibly dicult for businesses in all sectors and here at the Stars we are not immune from the economic pressures that the pandemic has brought. I would like to give a massive thank you to our loyal sponsors and partners who, along with our incredible fanbase, allowed the Club to keep operating during an extremely challenging period and build towards a brighter future. Despite the lack of hockey on the ice last season, we utilised the down-time to plan and strategise for the year ahead to ensure maximum competitiveness both on and o the ice. I am delighted with the progressive strides the Club have taken over the last few years. Our growth has seen match night attendance rise significantly leading to a stronger presence for the Club across local and national media touchpoints. This has greatly aided the sponsors and partners that we currently work closely with and I am positive you will see the benefits as you read through the brochure and understand how, as a Club, we can be of value to your own brand. From a commercial standpoint, we work proactively with our sponsors and partners to ensure they reap maximum benefit from our relationship. When working with the Dundee Stars, you work with a family Club that prides itself on a community-oriented approach. When a business becomes a sponsor or partner with the Stars, they become part of our journey and assimilate into the Stars family. Looking ahead, I know that everyone is excited to get back to the Dundee Ice Arena in a safe and healthy environment and I certainly share that enthusiasm. As each day passes, it is a step closer to that first puck drop back on home ice.
