Excel Laminating have today returned to Hull Stingrays fold, committing to a new one year sponsorship as club title sponsors, in doing so they have resumed one of the longest title sponsorships in the sport.
The company, headed by Jeff Thomas, had initially decided against reinvesting in a new sponsorship contract with the club, pulling out after seven years as main club sponsor. However, following the clubs fall under Mike and Sue Pack and subsequent rise under new Coventry based owners, Excel made the decision to once again join forces with the club for the upcoming season.
They rejoin as title sponsors with the club once again renamed the Excel Hull Stingrays.
Tonight will see those new colours as well as the clubs new jersey unveiled at a meet the players event which will see Sylvain Cloutier's 19 man 10/11 squad introduced to supporters.
Excel Laminating's return to ice hockey resumes one of the longest title sponsorships in British ice hockey, having remained with the Stingrays from day one of the clubs inaugural 03/04 season in the BNL, and continues their excellent relationship with the sport in the city.
