A three-year deal has been announced by Ice Hockey UK for Bauer Hockey to continue as kit provider for British national teams.

The company, which were founded in Canada but have their headquarters in United States, will supply off-ice clothing and equipment.

This will be provided to national teams at senior and youth level.

Britain sealed promotion back to the elite level of the International Ice Hockey Federation World Championships for the first time in 24 years last month after winning the Division 1A competition in Budapest.

“We are thrilled to be extending our deal with Bauer for another three years," said GB Progamme Board chairman, David Hand.

“We are delighted to be able to continue our relationship with Ice Hockey UK and GB for the next three years," added Bauer director Lucy Thomasson.
