CLEVELAND, Ohio - Michigan Tech Athletics was honored with the Silver Award for a Sponsorship Program by the National Association of Collegiate Marketing Administrators. The award was in recognition of the school's "Junior Hockey Night" sponsored by Pettibone.

Pettibone's partnership enables the school to have a hockey game night dedicated to junior hockey players complete with prizes, drawings, intermission contests and a "Skate With the Huskies" autograph session after the game.

"'Pettibone Junior Hockey Night' is an annual event for the whole junior hockey community that we are proud to be a part of," said Pettibone President Bill Loughman. "It's exciting for the kids, the parents and the Tech players as well.  The whole night is fun for everyone involved and we're looking forward to being a part of it for the next several years."

Center Ice Skate and Sport, Applebee's, Hardee's, and RockHouse Hardwood Grille donated raffle prizes and giveaways for the event.

"This is the biggest single-game promotion we do during hockey season, and we look forward to it every year," said Jonathan Hamilton. "Pettibone makes it happen with their generous partnership, and it's a great chance for us to join up and engage the community in a unique way."
