The North West Junior Hockey League is pretty far down the ladder even in terms of Jungle B leagues, but this is an interesting development.
The league is now the Strike Group North West Junior Hockey League. No terms divulged.
The company is a maintenance/construction outfit, and the league operates in an area dominated economically with oilfiled activity - although it is also prime agricultural land.
How much money would it take to rename a league? How much is it worth to a company to have its name associated with a league whose teams play in communities of less than 10,000 people and draw in only a few hundred (if that) fans a game.
Hockey is weird.
