This is great news for the club, the SW Echo has for a long time been very staunch and avid fans of the Devils, and has done the club proud for years, and this now can only get even better. There isnt a club in the land that has better exposure than the Devils, and thats down to Terry Phillips and the great staff at the SW Echo. Very very good news for the club, onwards and upwards guys.
HAPPY HOCKEY DAYS.

This just re-inforces the good relationship the Devils' Organisation has had with the South Wales Echo over the years, giving substantial coverage on a regular basis. Be hard pushed to find another ice hockey club in the UK so well promoted through local press. Great news for the Club. 
Now we just want HTV and BBC Wales local sport to do the same!

On the subject of TV coverage....what made me shake my head in despair towards the end of last season was that ITV Sport Wales presented a small article covering an international (normal) hockey event in Wales one evening, along with the football and the rugby......around the time the Devils had qualified for the Challenge Cup final with not even a mention on the sport news. :roll:

Jody - that made me laugh out loud :lol:
Anyway. It's great that the Devils have yet again gained such a huge sponsor. Hopefully there will be more of a push for getting ice hockey in general into the media, not just the Cardiff Devils.

Ger - nothing personal, but it is the SOUTH WALES Echo.
Im not saying it should not give more page space to the Devils, but come on, less Swansea?! You know that aint gonna happen and you know there would be a helluva a lot more people unhappy than happy.
Just have to accept that only 2000 (at a push) people watch the hockey. How many more hundred thousand watch the footy and rugby? Media coverage would be fab, but its only going to be in proportion with what the current audience want.
Um.. ?
Swansea has just as much of a place in the media as that other city just up the road.. whats it called again? :lol:

Have to say I'm a little bit confused about this title sponser. Generally we get very good coverage in the Echo considering we are a minority sport. Terry always gives us good copy week in week out and we also seem to have a lot of media on Walesonline whether it be video or audio.
I cant really see whats in it for us to be honest and how much more the coverage will be? I'm also concerned it isnt money orientated as much as a team looking to be title challengers (as we should be this year) would need.
In saying that I can see the sense in the deal for two reasons.
1. If Bellamy leads Cardiff towards the top of the table we will have leverage to gain more copy within the paper.
2. We should get maximum exposure if we gain the lease to the rink. And that should sky rocket us as an organisation.
All in all I can see sort of why this deals been done, but as a title sponsor I was kinda hoping for something a little bigger.
