At Gardeot, our mission has always been clear: to elevate and grow the sport of ice hockey while celebrating the passion it inspires across the UK and beyond. Ice hockey is a culture, a lifestyle, and a community that unites people from all walks of life. As the sport continues to expand, we recognise a vital opportunity and responsibility to champion a crucial part of the hockey community: the women’s game.

Women’s Hockey Matters

The women’s ice hockey scene in the UK is thriving with momentum and potential. This rapidly growing sport is driven by talent, dedication, and a vibrant community of athletes who demonstrate resilience, skill, and passion with every shift. From grassroots programs to elite leagues, women’s hockey is making remarkable strides each season.

Yet, despite this progress, many hockey fans and sports enthusiasts still don’t fully appreciate the excitement, speed, and skill showcased in women’s hockey. There is so much more to discover; compelling storylines, intense competition, and inspiring athletes pushing the boundaries of the sport. The women’s game deserves a spotlight as bright and passionate as that which shines on the men’s leagues.

At the same time, the women’s game stands at a pivotal moment in its development. While men’s hockey enjoys steady growth and increased visibility, women’s hockey is still establishing its place in the sporting landscape. This is not a comparison or competition; rather, it highlights the clear need for focused support, investment, and visibility that will allow women’s hockey to thrive on its own terms.

At Gardeot, we firmly believe the future of British hockey depends on nurturing every facet of the sport. Supporting women’s hockey means supporting the growth, diversity, and sustainability of ice hockey across the UK.

Our Support

Starting with the 2025/26 season, Gardeot will proudly sponsor a selection of women’s ice hockey teams throughout the UK. These sponsorships represent our commitment to stand alongside these teams, their players, and their communities as they tirelessly work to grow the sport both on and off the ice.

Our support is designed to provide essential resources, amplify the visibility of women’s hockey, and foster connections that strengthen the sport at every level. We aim to shine a spotlight on the exceptional talent and dedication of female players, coaches, and staff helping fans and the wider public discover what they’ve been missing.

Investing in women’s hockey goes beyond the game itself; it’s about community, empowerment, and opportunity. Sport has the unique power to bring people together, inspire confidence, and break down barriers. Supporting women’s hockey means supporting young girls dreaming of their first game, veterans leading teams, and communities rallying behind their local squads.

As a brand rooted in passion for the sport, Gardeot is dedicated to creating an inclusive environment where everyone feels welcome and inspired by hockey. We want to help build a future where women’s hockey is celebrated equally, where games draw packed crowds, and where every young athlete sees a clear path forward.

This marks the beginning of an exciting chapter for Gardeot and women’s hockey in the UK. Together, we are building momentum, breaking barriers, and celebrating a game stronger than ever. Over the coming months, we’ll share more stories, updates, and insights about the teams and players we support and we’d love for you to be part of this journey.

Follow along, support your local women’s teams, and wear your passion proudly.
