Deeside Dragons ice hockey club appeal for sponsors
Deeside Dragons are now reaching crowd numbers of almost 500 on match nights, and 700 during games against Widnes after regrouping from having their facility used as a coronavirus vaccination hub.
MP Mark Tami recently revisited the club at Deeside leisure centre, having last visited management in 2022, and lauded its progress, including a revamp of the changing room to align with professional facilities.
He said: "It's been great to meet Jake and Mike today and see the progress since my last visit.
"Deeside Dragons are going from strength to strength and are giving back to the community's young people.
"I would encourage any businesses who are in a position to do so to consider supporting them."
Jake Witkowski, one of the team's two permitted professionals and a former USA NCAA Division I player, has taken on the role of business manager, focusing on youth team development and sponsorship.

He said: "Ice hockey is the most attended indoor sport in the UK, with its rapid growth trajectory suggesting a promising future.
"With 130 in our junior club we're well placed to be at the forefront as the sport continues to develop.
"We aim to create opportunity for young people through structured sport, personal development, and accessible training programmes."
Despite ice time costs being comparatively lower than other rinks, the club would like more funds for exciting investments like Hudl software, which would facilitate training improvements.
