ANC Launches State Farm® Dasherboard Program
ANC Sports Places State Farm Insurance® at Over 20 NHL Arenas
(Purchase, New York, March 6, 2007) - ANC Sports Enterprises announced a multi-team sponsorship agreement that places the State Farm Insurance® brand at over 20 National Hockey League arenas throughout the second half of the 2006-07 season.
State Farm® will receive regional exposure on the dasherboards with over half of the league's teams for all home games, including some nationally televised games on NBC and Versus. Additionally, ANC Sports is responsible for producing the dasher decals. The NHL agreement follows ANC's ground breaking NCAA basket profile sponsorship with over 40 schools launched in January on behalf of State Farm®.
"ANC is pleased to deliver a new sponsorship for more than half of the NHL teams and looks forward to developing additional programs that maximize the league's revenue opportunities," said David Bialek, president of ANC Sports Marketing. "We are excited to expand our relationship with State Farm, one of the premier sports sponsors, in an effort to continue increasing awareness of the brand."
NHL teams included in the dasherboard program include the Anaheim Ducks, Atlanta Thrashers, Calgary Flames, Carolina Hurricanes, Chicago Blackhawks, Colorado Avalanche, Dallas Stars, Detroit Red Wings, Edmonton Oilers, Florida Panthers, Los Angeles Kings, Nashville Predators, New York Islanders, New York Rangers, Ottawa Senators, Philadelphia Flyers, Phoenix Coyotes, Pittsburgh Penguins, San Jose Sharks, St. Louis Blues and Tampa Bay Lightning.
In addition to the State Farm program, ANC renewed its agreement with the National Hockey League to print all league-generated dasherboards for the second half of the 2006-07 season and playoffs. ANC also printed and installed all dasherboards, team and penalty bench decals and sponsor in-ice applications for the 2007 NHL All-Star Events in Dallas, TX.
