ST. CATHARINES, Ont. – The Brock University men's hockey team recognized long-time corporate sponsor Henley Honda before the OUA West playoff game between the Brock Badgers and Waterloo Warriors Friday night at the Seymour-Hannah Centre.

The ceremonial puck between Badgers assistant-captain Ryan Allen and Warriors captain Chris Ray was performed by Henley Honda owner Alex Digenis.

"The Brock community is phenomenal and is a big part of St. Catharines and the Niagara Region," said Digenis. "I always have loved what they are doing and love athletics. My kids (Jaden and Hannah) are heavily involved in athletics and it is just great to see young adults involved in university sports and doing well."

With many years of sponsorship from Henley Honda, Brock Badgers men's hockey coach Murray Nystrom knows that sponsorships are a big part of the athletic success that all Brock University athletes attain.

"We have certainly always appreciated Henley Honda's contributions to our athletic program," said Nystrom. "The way they help the student athletes through scholarships is outstanding. If our athletics are going to excel in all sports we need to attract the best athletes we can get, and the Henley Honda Scholarship Program helps us do that."
