Here’s a great way for former NHL draft picks to thank their fans and let them know about any of their post-hockey business ventures.

When visitors view your page on HockeyDraftCentral.com, they will see your message and have an opportunity to click through to anything you wish to promote for up to a full year from the time you purchase your $1.99 sponsorship. If your banner reaches its maximum of 1,000 unique views before the one-year term ends, you’ll have the right-of-first-refusal to renew.

View the sample image here. You will choose your own message of up to 40 words, as well as two signature lines.

You can customize the message displayed here

All messages must be from the former player or his representative, and every effort will be made to confirm that the individual requesting this manner of sponsorship is authentic. Messages submitted by those who are determined to be imposters or whose authenticity is in any way questionable will be rejected without refund of the sponsorship fee.

All messages are subject to approval and must not contain inappropriate content. Clearly inappropriate content — such as profane language, disparaging language, or references or links to pornographic, spam, or malware sites — will be rejected without refund of your sponsorship fee.

If you have any question as to whether your content is acceptable, please e-mail it to sponsor@hockeydraftcentral.com before filling out the form below.

To supply your own custom banner (300 x 250 pixels), please e-mail it to sponsor@hockeydraftcentral.com. If the banner is approved, you will receive a link to another page where you can make your purchase.

If your content is deemed appropriate, your banner will be created and displayed on the selected player’s page within 24 hours of your purchase.
