Golf course latest to sponsor Telford Tigers
Aqualate Golf & Padel is backing the ice hockey team as it prepares to expand its facilities in Newport
Ice hockey team Telford Tigers has announced a new sponsorship deal.
The semi-professional club has agreed a deal with Aqualate Golf & Padel to support it throughout the 2026/27 season.
Aqualate Golf & Padel is an 18-hole golf course based in Newport which also has a 'Puck & Glide' centre where people can practice their ice hockey skills and in September it secured consent to build four new padel courts.
Telford Tigers said the new partnership represented an important boost for the club as it continued to build for the season ahead, with the support of local businesses playing a vital role in its ongoing development.
It added that the deal would help the Tigers build on its schools programme and continue delivering for its players, supporters and the wider community.
In September, the club announced a new naming rights deal with car dealership group AION which sees the club competing this season as the AION Telford Tigers.
Telford Tigers chairman Mike Washburn said: "We're incredibly grateful to have Aqualate Golf & Padel supporting the Tigers for the 2026/27 season.
"Support from local businesses is vital to helping us continue to grow the club, invest in our future and deliver the best possible experience for our players and supporters.
"It's fantastic to be working with a business that is investing in sport and the local community and we really appreciate the commitment Wojtek and the team have shown us.
"We're looking forward to building a strong relationship throughout the season and hopefully achieving some great things together."
Wojtek Behnke, asset manager at Aqualate Golf & Padel, added: "Great sports clubs do more than compete - they bring people together, inspire the next generation and create a real sense of community.
"That's exactly what the Telford Tigers do and why we're proud to support them. We believe it's vital for local businesses to get behind clubs like the Tigers and help them continue to grow and succeed.
"We share that passion for bringing people together through sport. With Newport's first padel courts on the way, we're looking forward to creating even more opportunities for people of all ages to get active, try something new and enjoy sport together."
