Sponsor Bryan Hackworth

Why you should sponsor me for your next influencer campaign?

 I am 34 years old and have played para ice Hockey for over 15 years. I have already represented Great Britain on several occasions including the Bronze medal squad in the World Champions. I started as back up netminder but have now progressed to starting netminder for GB. Our currant campaign is to qualify for the Winter Paralympic Games in 2026. In order to do this we need to move through the ranks in the World standings. Our opening campaign for this will start when we play in the pool ‘C’ championships in December this year. We are going to this competition as favourites and are expected to qualify for Pool ‘B’ these championships take part in 2023. Para Ice Hockey is the Paralympic version of Ice hockey, played to the same rules and on the same size rink. The only difference being that all players have a lower leg disability which prevents them from Skating. We use adapted equipment to move sledges around the ice to play the game. The game is fast paced and very physical. I was born with Spina Bifida and was not expected to survive. Not only did I survive but I live to the full , as well as Para Ice Hockey I have played Wheelchair basketball and sitting volleyball, but Para Ice is my passion. I train weekly with my league club, the Sheffield Steelkings, of which I am a founding member and monthly with the GB Squad. My coach has told me I will be the Starting netminder for our upcoming campaigns. On top of team/ on ice training I work out in the Gym and pool to maintain my fitness on top or specific ‘off ice’ training at home with weights, hand cycle and balancing conditioning. I work part time at a local Coop supermarket, which allows me time for my training schedule.
