SPONSORSHIPS AND VOLUNTEERS

The Maine Novice Hockey League (MNHL) is currently seeking sponsorship opportunities for the 2026 season, with partnerships continuing into the 2027 season.

We are accepting up to six sponsors. Participating businesses will have their logo featured on team jerseys, across our social media platforms, and on MNHL game result graphics, including highlighted placement within featured images.

The goal of these sponsorships is to help introduce new features and benefits for league players, offset player fees, and support the continued growth of the MNHL brand as we continue expanding and improving the overall player experience.

The MNHL is also seeking volunteers to assist with league media and content coverage, including:

  • Writing MNHL game recaps and news articles for the website
  • Camera operators for MNHL live Facebook broadcasts (equipment supplied)
  • Aspiring photographers and videographers looking to gain experience in sports media and live event coverage

The Maine Novice Hockey League was founded in 2024, with its inaugural season launching in March 2025. Beginning with four teams and 65 registered players, the league quickly expanded to six teams and 95 players by its second season in September 2025. Growth continued into 2026, with Season 3 reaching 108 registered players across six teams.

For the Fall 2026 season, the MNHL introduced two expansion teams - the Pink Flamingos and Orange Crush - bringing the league to a total of 145 registered players.

The MNHL is a co-ed adult hockey league designed for lower-intermediate players, older players returning to the sport, and those who may struggle in traditional local C-level leagues. The league places a strong emphasis on creating a welcoming, developmental, and supportive environment for newer players.

To support player development and maintain game flow, each team includes one designated higher C-level player operating under league-specific expectations established by the MNHL Commissioner to ensure the league’s developmental focus remains intact.
