Looking For Organizations and Companies Interested In Community Investment or Corporate Advertising

With almost 500,000 visitors to the Bonnyville Centennial Centre every year along with a hockey fan base between 650 and 1200 per game, the Bonnyville PONTIACS continue to be a strong and proactive avenue for advertisers and sponsors to reach their audience in the Lakeland area. Our 27 million dollar facility includes the R.J. LaLonde Arena, home to the Bonnyville PONTIACS and Bonnyville Minor Hockey and Lacrosse Associations. We are always looking for companies interested in Community Investment and Corporate Advertising. The PONTIACS organization is dependent on both community and sponsor support. Sponsorship dollars go directly to the team’s operating budget, covering player education, billeting, and travel expenses for players as well as community, charity, and promotional event costs for our fans.
