SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

ABOUT THE LI GULLS

The LI Gulls is a 501c3 Not for Profit organization. We are the oldest youth ice hockey organization on Long Island. The Gulls organization has been involved with youth ice hockey for over 40 years. We provide a place for 350 children ages 5 - 18 to play the great game of ice hockey. We are a premier youth hockey organization with many accomplishments. Our organization includes our Youth Tier One AAA Organization which is called the Long Island Gulls (www.ligulls.org). Children that fulfill the commitments of team sports are better students, healthier children and, in the future, more likely to be successful members of their community.

THE COST OF HOCKEY,

Travel Ice Hockey is a special commitment. The game is an expensive sportwith each players familyspending close to $10,000 per season if not more, in order to participate. Its not a secret that hockey tends to be one of the most expensive sports that these children can play. Between league dues, paying for ice time, travel costs and equipment costs, it is the price they pay to advance their childrens hockey career. Parents can expect to buy new skates, helmets, pads, pants, gloves, jerseys, socks and pretty much every piece of hockey equipment every single season because the kids tend to outgrow it. Being a sponsor can help off-set the cost and burden on the families whose children have a passion for the sport of hockey.

Ferraro Brothers Hockey

Founded by twin brothers Chris and Peter Ferraro, Ferraro Brothers Hockey is dedicated to encouraging, supporting and sustaining youth hockey awareness, safety and education through on-ice training, off-ice instruction, charity events and a presence in the community.

BENEFIT OF SPONSORSHIP

With a combined 32 years of professional hockey experience, Chris and Peter Ferarro bring the knowledge and expertise garnered from their years spent in the NHL, AHL, IHL, Elite European Leagues and the 1994 Olympics to numerous facilities across the tri-state area for one-of-a-kind hockey experiences. Having learned the game while playing alongside all-time greats such as Wayne Gretzky, Mark Messier, Brian Leetch, Pat LaFontaine and Jaromir Jagr, the Ferraros have developed a uniquely designed on-ice program to educate players of all ages and skill levels in an encouraging and enthusiastic environment.

The Long Island Gulls Amateur Hockey Association will have a major advantage because they will have a home base at Ferraro Brothers Ice Center. The new facility will be a state-of-the-art sports and recreation center at Eisenhower Park. Twin Rinks at Eisenhower Park will include Ferraro Brothers Ice Center, an 85,000 square foot world-class facility with two NHL regulation-sized rinks and one outdoor recreational hockey rink that will host skating lessons, youth player development programs, tournaments and hockey teams for all ages and skill levels.The Ferraro brothers hope the new facility will provide youth players opportunities never before seen on Long Island. County Executive Mangano stated, This new state-of-the-art sports and recreation center is an exciting component of the Hub that will create jobs, complement Nassaus sports-entertainment tourism plan and provide youth athletes access to world class skating facilities. I am delighted that Nassau County is able to partner with Chris and Peter Ferraro to bring this outstanding facility here. Creating this kind of sports-entertainment destination will enhance our quality of life as well as create jobs and opportunities for residents.
