Campers Inn RV recently announced it is sponsoring the inaugural season of the Jacksonville Icemen in Jacksonville, Fla., a professional hockey team associated with the East Coast Hockey League (ECHL).
“As a Jacksonville-based company, we are proud to support our city’s newest pro sports team,” said Ben Hirsch, COO of Campers Inn RV. “We are thrilled hockey is back in Jacksonville, and we believe strongly in the Icemen’s commitment to bolstering our local community. We feel their values mirror our own, and we know our investment in the team will help them continue to offer fun activities for Jacksonville families.”
Campers Inn RV is an Official Jersey Sponsor and an official tailgate sponsor of Fanfest, the team’s outdoor pre-game celebration, for the 2017-2018 season. Campers Inn RV shares the team’s community-oriented values and is excited to support another local business’s efforts to enhance the city’s downtown atmosphere.
The Jacksonville Icemen, who play at the Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Arena, were launched in October 2017 as the first ECHL franchise in the city since 2000. The team aims to provide an affordable family experience featuring competitive, high-level hockey. It is affiliated with the NHL Winnipeg Jets and the AHL Manitoba Moose.
“Campers Inn RV is a great example of how local businesses have supported the return of the professional hockey in Jacksonville,” said Bob Ohrablo, team president. “We ask our thousands of loyal fans to support Campers Inn RV and make sure that you are a part of the Icemen family as well.”
