AMESBURY, Mass. - The Hockey East Association announced today the addition of five new cor- porate partners for the 2025-26 season, building on Hockey East’s presence in Greater Boston and New England. Additionally, several partners return with new campaigns. The partnerships were secured by Van Wagner, who manages Hockey East’s sponsorship and corporate marketing program.
During the 2025-26 college hockey season, each partner will receive an array of benefits and marketing exposure encompassing Hockey East broadcasts on NESN, This Week In Hockey East, in-venue elements, and other digital assets, including the league’s social media accounts which are the most followed in all of college hockey.
“We are thrilled to expand our partnerships with quality companies and people throughout New England, many of which will have a direct impact on the student-athlete experience while competing in Hockey East,” said Hockey East Commissioner Steve Metcalf. “Hockey East looks forward to continuing to build relationships throughout our communities with the help of Van Wagner.”
