Zuger Kantonalbank extended as EVZ general sponsor

Zuger Kantonalbank has been a committed partner of EVZ for three decades. Initially, the general sponsor supported the EVZ men’s team and the EVZ junior team, but since 2023 Zuger Kantonalbank has also been committed to the promotion and visibility of girls and women in ice hockey as part of the Women & Girls programme.

Zuger Kantonalbank and EVZ actively pursue their partnership and regularly realise joint projects. For example, Zuger Kantonalbank supports the annual EVZ Skateathon as a presenting partner, in which the players run laps to raise money for young talents. Zuger Kantonalbank is also actively involved in a wide range of activities at the home games of the women’s team. Last year, for example, the “ZugerKB invites you in” campaign gave all stadium visitors free admission to the game, resulting in a new home game attendance record of 4,136 fans.

Hanspeter Rhyner, CEO of Zuger Kantonalbank, is proud of the long-standing partnership: «We are continuing our commitment as general sponsor of EVZ with full conviction because our well-established collaboration has a lasting impact – in sporting, social and regional terms. Like Zuger Kantonalbank, EVZ is deeply rooted in the Zug region and together we stand for the values of tradition, passion and excellence. We are particularly proud of our collaboration in setting up the Women & Girls programme. Equal opportunities in sport and in the world of work is not a trend for us, but an attitude – and we exemplify this together.»

EVZ CEO Patrick Lengwiler is also pleased to know that the general sponsor will be at EVZ’s side for at least another five years: «Zuger Kantonalbank has been a reliable partner for us for decades and is committed to EVZ at all levels – be it with the men’s first team, with young talent or, for some years now, with the newly launched Women & Girls programme. For us, the extension of the partnership is a vote of confidence in our organisation.»
