Help keep the tradition of community hockey alive in our towns. Become a Winnetka Hockey House League Sponsor!
When it comes to youth hockey, support for our Winnetka House League pays big dividends. As the cost of youth sports continues to grow, quality recreational programs are becoming harder to find. Our House League teaches the game, makes hockey accessible to new players, and offers a fun, competitive environment to those who are not able to make a full commitment to travel hockey.

Sponsoring a team enables hockey to continue to thrive in Winnetka, Glencoe, Kenilworth, Northfield and surrounding communities as it has for more than 50 years--by providing easy and affordable access to the sport. We’re so thankful for our sponsors who play a big role in making this happen. We could not do it without their valuable contribution. We hope you consider joining them!

  • Wall Banner (full color 4'x8') at the North Shore Ice Arena (NSIA) main rink (reg. price: $1,000 per season) directly across and within full view of the seating area. NSIA is home to the Winnetka Warriors and three other local clubs including the five New Trier Hockey teams.

  • Total bundle price: $1,750 for Team Sponsorship, Wall Banner and full-page Journal ad (includes all artwork design and printing costs for the banner and the journal ad).


Hundreds of hockey games are played annually at NSIA, drawing tens of thousands of spectators from the North Shore communities of Winnetka, Wilmette, Glencoe, Northfield, Kenilworth Northbrook and Glenview, plus dozens of other locations around Chicagoland.

Multiple tournaments are hosted every season, including the Thanksgiving Wishbone Tournament (see below). More than 100 teams and thousands of spectators pass through the arena over four days.

Arena advertising offers a more captive and local audience compared to other out-of-home media. Hockey rink spectators are often in the stands for 60 minutes at a time, sometimes multiple times per week, leaving ample time for viewing the arenas’ advertising media. Your advertising dollars not only contribute towards reaching your target demographics but also flow money back into the local community.

Did you know...
The original name of the program was the Win-field Hockey Association, named for the Villages of Winnetka and Northfield. The name was dropped after one season after a visiting team drove to Winfield, Illinois and wondered where the rink was!   
 
The Club started slowly, with only one travel team at each level. However, a large house league program was established and soon there were over 300 players skating. Today, the Club serves over 400 players ages 5-14 on over 30 teams from Winnetka, Glencoe, Kenilworth and Northfield.
Our Mission
The mission of the Winnetka Hockey Club is to develop outstanding young people and players tied to their community through the great game of hockey. The House League is at the core of that mission. In an era of increasingly professionalized youth sports, the Club is one of the few true community-based programs in Illinois that opens its doors to players of all levels. Thanks to your continued support, we are able to offer a high quality hockey curriculum at an affordable price to kids who want to discover the game, make new friends, and learn the importance of teamwork, and sportsmanship. 

Thank you for your support – we truly could not do this without you!
