Team will be known as Great North Estevan Bears starting in the 2023-24 season, after Great North Wellhead & Frac stepped forward.
ESTEVAN - The Estevan Bears U18 AAA hockey club has announced a new multi-year partnership with its new title sponsor, Great North Wellhead & Frac.
Beginning with the 2023-24 regular season, the team will be known as the Great North Estevan Bears.
“We are very excited that Great North has signed on to be our title sponsor for the next two seasons. We feel that it’s a great fit for our hockey club and look forward to building a great relationship,” said team governor and board chairman Blake Jamieson.
"Being able to have the opportunity of supporting this level of hockey locally is exciting. Hockey’s been a huge part of my personal life and when I was told the Bears needed a new title sponsor, we had to make sure Great North was able to support in some capacity," said Nick Neurauter, Great North Wellhead & Frac's Estevan branch manager. "Being able to be the title sponsor is just the cherry on top. The Great North team looks forward to seeing the program have success moving forward."
“The support from our business community in Estevan and the southeast area is invaluable to our team’s success and sustainability. Our players are prepared for a new season of hockey to begin, and the Bears are grateful to have Great North join us for the start of the year,” said head coach and general manager Ryan Pilon.
The Great North Estevan Bears will begin their fourth season in the Saskatchewan Male AAA Hockey League on Sept. 23 and 24 with home games at Affinity Place against the Tisdale Trojans.
Great North was incorporated in 2003.
