In
practical terms, their financial support will enable us to put together a more
professional looking final product than has been possible in previous years,
with glossy paper for the inside pages and the inclusion of colour photographs
for the first time.
Editorially,
the 2015 yearbook still has the same writing team – with a few new contributors
- and will continue to be the only publication on the planet that covers the
NIHL North and South in full team by team and league by league detail.
The sponsorship deal is the culmination of lots of hard work on the part of NIHL South Editor Chris Randall who has been working tirelessly to help attract backers for the publication as well as producing his NIHL South 1&2 write-ups.
Paul
Baker, Director of Red Hockey, said: "Sponsoring the NIHL Yearbook is a
great way of cementing our links with teams across the UK ice hockey community.
When we were approached by the publishers, it was a very easy decision to make.
"Giving
ice hockey a sustainable platform for the future is Red Hockey's main priority.
Ice hockey is a wonderful sport, and we want as many people as possible to
enjoy it.
"Through
our links with teams in the National Ice Hockey League and English Premier Ice
Hockey League, we are investing in the future.
"Everyone
at Red Hockey is delighted that a quality publication like the NIHL Yearbook
can now go from strength to strength."
The Ice
Hockey Review 2015 NIHL Yearbook will be available to buy online and at ice
rinks, sports shops and other outlets from the end of September – with personal
sales also available through NIHL South editor Chris Randall on the Isle of
Wight and NIHL North Editor Chris Mackenzie in the North East.

pre-launch offer price is also available by following the link at the right of
