The Manx Hockey Association would like to extend its sincere thanks to Zeta Global for its generous sponsorship of the Tim Leeming Charity Shield Pre-Season Tournament.

The tournament is the start of the Isle of Man hockey’s 2026 season calendar, bringing together players, clubs, officials and supporters ahead of the new season. It provides an excellent opportunity for teams to prepare for the challenges ahead while celebrating the spirit of the game and supporting charity partner – Isle Listen.

The Association is extremely grateful for Zeta Global’s support and commitment to local sport. Sponsorship plays a vital role in ensuring events such as the Tim Leeming Charity Shield can thrive and provide valuable opportunities for participation, competition and community engagement.

The funding provided by Zeta Global will not only help deliver a successful tournament but will also contribute to the ongoing development of hockey across the Isle of Man. The support will assist the Association in its efforts to grow junior hockey participation, enhance coaching and officiating opportunities, and invest in initiatives that encourage more people of all ages to get involved in the sport.

On behalf of everyone involved in Manx hockey, thank you to Zeta Global for its valued partnership and for helping to support the future growth and success of hockey on the Island.
