BEMIDJI, Minn. – Bemidji State University Athletics is proud to announce new corporate partnership opportunities tied to its nationally recognized Division I men's and women's hockey programs, following recent NCAA Division I regulatory changes permitting commercial branding on team uniforms.
 
These new opportunities allow select partners to gain premium visibility through two in-game assets: a sponsor patch located on the game jersey or a branded decal on team helmets. Both placements provide consistent, high-impact exposure during games, broadcasts, and across digital and social media platforms.
 
"This is an exciting step forward for Bemidji State Athletics and our partners," said Jesse Katz, Assistant Director of Athletics for Development & Sponsorship. "Our hockey programs have a strong regional and national following, and these new inventory options create meaningful ways for businesses to align their brand with Beaver Hockey while supporting our student-athletes."
 
Bemidji State's men's and women's hockey programs compete at the highest level of NCAA Division I, regularly drawing strong attendance and viewership. These partnership opportunities are limited and will be structured to ensure alignment with the university's brand and values.
 
Businesses interested in exploring these opportunities are encouraged to contact Bemidji State Athletics to learn more about availability, pricing, and partnership benefits.
