Promotional wing of online poker operator to sponsor Toronto Maple Leaf ice hockey
The difficulties of operating in the hostile environment of the United States have not deterred Pokerstars from continuing its promotional activities in the more enlightened climate just to the north.
PokerStars.net, the promotional wing of the world's biggest online poker operator, announced in Toronto, Canada this week that it has renewed its sponsorship agreement with Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment Ltd. (MLSE) as a sponsor of the Toronto Maple Leafs hockey club.
The deal will see PokerStars.net on the rinkboards for all home games & creating exciting ticket giveaways to the popular goal judge seats at Air Canada Centre.
"Millions of Canadians, including myself, are diehard sports fans & poker players. Hockey is our national pastime & recently poker has surged in popularity as Canadians have begun to excel on the international stage," said Daniel Negreanu, Team PokerStars Pro player.
"I have played hockey my whole life & grew up watching the Toronto Maple Leafs, which is why I am excited that PokerStars.net is a sponsor. It is a great relationship & allows the world's largest online poker school to team up with an iconic franchise to deliver exceptional promotions for poker & hockey fans."
The agreement will see PokerStars.net remain a sponsor through to the end of the 2011 / 2012 NHL season.
