Published Fri 18 Mar 2022
Hockey Tasmania is delighted to announce that Tasmania’s leading event and party equipment hire company, Salters Hire Tasmania, has agreed to a 3-year deal to become the naming rights sponsor of Premier League Hockey.
Tasmania’s elite men’s and women’s club competition will now officially be known as The Salters Hire Premier League.
Hockey Tasmania CEO Damian Smith said that the agreement signals an important development in the local recovery from COVID-19 and for the sport of hockey in Tasmania.
“This partnership with a company of the standing of Salters Hire shows that our Premier League now sits among all the top Tasmanian club sporting leagues, and that the gender-equal nature of the league, and our sport, is a significant commercial attraction,” Smith said.
“We’re very pleased to be partnering with a Tasmanian business that shares our values of creating a stronger and healthier community through supporting inclusive sporting opportunities and pathways for Tasmanians.”
Managing Director, Jarrod Nation, said Salters Hire is committed to supporting the community and this was an excellent opportunity to give back.
“Salters is all about bringing people together, through events and functions,” Mr Nation said.
“Supporting Hockey Tasmania means that we can help them bring together a broad cross-section of people to play sport and be part of a strong community. Hopefully, with our support we can help make that community even stronger.
“Hockey is a great sport for all Tasmanians and of the more than 10,000 registered players, there’s an even split between females and males. We are proud to support a sport that walks the walk when it comes to being inclusive.
“Over the next three years, Salters Hire will be the major sponsor for women’s and men’s Premier League Hockey and hopefully in that time we can help continue to build the pathway for talented Tasmanians that has produced some of the best players in the world.”
