The partnership, which will run until August 2014, will see TMG work with both Investec and NOW: Pensions, the Principal Partners of the Women’s Hockey League and Men’s Hockey League, respectively.
The partnership also covers that period of international hockey when the national teams compete for medals at the 2014 Rabobank Hockey World Cup in The Hague and the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.
TMG has created an online Hockey Channel on The Telegraph website, Telegraph Hockey, populated with editorial coverage of hockey news, interviews and results from England’s Men’s and Women’s Leagues, including International matches and activity.
The partnership will also see The Daily Telegraph’s Sport section carry coverage and results from the previous weekend’s leading club matches every Monday.
Nick Green, Sports Sponsorship Manager, TMG, said: “This partnership with England Hockey is a great feat for TMG and goes to show our dedication and commitment to sports and especially to hockey. We look forward to working with England Hockey throughout this exciting hockey season and in the lead up to the 2014 Hockey World Cup next June.”
Jonathan Cockcroft, Commercial and Membership Director, England Hockey, said: “On the back of a successful London 2012, both on and off the field, hockey is growing in prominence and this exciting partnership will raise the visibility of international and club hockey further. We are looking forward to working with the TMG to provide engaging content for their readers and hope that it will inspire people to take a greater interest in the sport.”
