New Balance Extends Partnership with Hockey NT Until 2030, Expands Support to Territory Stingers 

Off the back of Hockey NT’s historic first season in the Malaysian Hockey League (MHL), we are proud to announce that New Balance has extended its partnership with Hockey NT through to 2030. This extension reinforces the growing presence of Territory hockey on the national and international stage, strengthening our vision for excellence, growth, and community pride.

New Balance has set a high standard as a partner, providing exceptional support, and delivering high-quality apparel that enhances our presence both on and off the field. Their involvement extends beyond traditional sponsorship; it has been instrumental in shaping the identity of Hockey NT, ensuring our athletes represent the Territory with pride, professionalism, and a strong sense of purpose. Their unwavering commitment perfectly aligns with our vision, fuelling the culture, values, and aspirations that continue to drive our sport forward.

As part of this renewed agreement, New Balance has expanded its support to include sponsorship of the SRA Territory Stingers, further strengthening its connection to our elite representative teams and pathways. New Balance will also continue its involvement with our local competition through the New Balance Territory Premier League (TPL).

Jason Butcher, CEO of Hockey NT, shared his gratitude for the extended partnership:

"New Balance has been more than a sponsor, they’ve been a key partner in shaping who we are and where we’re going. Their support has been pivotal to our growth, and their commitment to extending through to 2030, along with expanding their sponsorship to include the SRA Territory Stingers, speaks to the strength of our relationship. The quality of their apparel is unmatched, and their belief in our vision for the future is something we deeply value."

Belgravia Apparel Head of Elite Sports Aus/NZ,  Joe Siciliano, said, “We are thrilled to collaborate with New Balance to extend the Hockey NT apparel program and excited that its loyal community including ‘the Stingers” will continue wearing our product for the foreseeable future. We look forward to furthering our relationship with Jason and his Team”.

This extension comes at an exciting time for Territory hockey as the SRA Territory Stingers continue to grow their presence locally and on national and international stages, including their participation in the Malaysian Hockey League and the Festival of Hockey. New Balance’s expanded support will play a crucial role in enhancing the team’s capacity to compete at the highest levels while continuing to nurture talent through our junior representative program, the U16 Super League and the Stingers Academy.

New Balance’s continued support strengthens our programs, enhances opportunities for our athletes, and provides consistency as we grow. This partnership ensures Territory hockey remains competitive and well-supported, and we look forward to building on this success in the years ahead.
