CHOC Chick sponsors Hull Jets ice hockey club  

CHOC Chick, supplier of raw chocolate making kits and organic cacao ingredients, is the new official sponsor of the English ice hockey team, Hull Jets.

As part of the deal, the CHOC Chick logo will feature on the Hull Jets’ kits, which will be unveiled at the special launch and British Heart Foundation charity fundraiser. The launch coincides with Hull Jets’ game on Saturday 21 November 2015 against Widnes Wild at the Hull Arena.  

Hull Jets currently play in the National Ice Hockey League’s Laidler Conference. Jets’ manager Jo Kent said: “We’re absolutely thrilled to partner with CHOC Chick. Its products and core values are the perfect fit with our initiative to promote health and wellbeing in the local community.”

Ben Spurgeon, a skater with the Jets and a regular CHOC Chick customer, also welcomed the news. “It’s great to see the supplier of one of my favourite products get behind my team,” he said. “CHOC Chick is the healthy way to make and enjoy chocolate. It’s perfect for us as players and sends a really positive message to our community.”

Galia Orme, founder of CHOC Chick, said: “I’m absolutely delighted to be supporting such a fantastic team and joining forces to promote a healthy lifestyle through exercise, community spirit and raw chocolate. My family moved to Canada from Argentina when I was as a child and I’ve always been a fan of ice hockey, so the opportunity to sponsor the Hull Jets is a bit of a dream come true. Go Jets!”

CHOC Chick provides raw chocolate making kits, recipes and organic cacao ingredients ethically sourced from cooperatives in Ecuador. These enable people to create and enjoy chocolate that is free from dairy, gluten, processed sugar, additives and, most importantly, guilt.
