Keyano Huskies Athletics is proud to announce a historic milestone with a full complement of team sponsors across all Huskies programs for the first time in program history. This achievement reflects strong community partnerships and continued investment in student-athlete success.  

The Huskies are pleased to welcome back several longstanding partners while also introducing new organizations to the Huskies pack.  

Returning sponsors include North Star Ford Lincoln as the presenting partner of Huskies Men’s Basketball, Matt Pate IG Wealth Management in support of Women’s Basketball, Diversified Transportation for Men’s Soccer, and Chard Métis for Women’s Volleyball. Their continued commitment plays a vital role in sustaining and growing Huskies Athletics.  

This season also marks the addition of two new team sponsors. Turning Point Surveys joins as the official sponsor of Men’s Volleyball, while Inter Pipeline comes on board in support of Women’s Soccer.  

Turning Point Surveys CEO Cass Rhynes and Inter Pipeline’s Director of Offgas Operations Rod Marche shared their excitement about becoming part of the Huskies community.  

“Turning Point Surveys is excited to become part of the Huskies pack,” said Rhynes. “We see tremendous value in supporting student-athletes who demonstrate dedication, resilience, and teamwork. We are proud to invest in a program that has such a strong impact on the community.”  

“We’re proud to partner with Keyano College to support the Huskies Women’s Soccer program,” said Rod Marche, director of offgas operations, for Inter Pipeline. “By investing in local athletics, we’re not only supporting student-athletes, but also contributing to a connected community. These partnerships are an important part of how Inter Pipeline shows up as a responsible and engaged neighbour in the community.”  

The Huskies are also proud to welcome SMG Builders as the official Player of the Game sponsor, GPM Industrial as the Media Booth Partner, and CEDA as the Game Day Trivia Partner.  

“As a former collegiate athlete and founder of ITD Academy, I know the Player of the Game award recognizes more than an individual performance. It reflects the work done in the dark, the attention to detail, and the commitment made to the team long before the spotlight. We’re proud to support a program that celebrates those values in our local student-athletes,” said Khurram Sultan, vice-president of operations, SMG Builders.  

Thanks to the support of both new and returning partners, Huskies Athletics continues to elevate its programs and strengthen its role as a source of community pride in the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo.  

“We are incredibly proud to reach this milestone,” said Jeremy Wielenga, general manager of Huskies Athletics. “To have every team supported by dedicated community partners, while also welcoming sponsors who enhance our game-day experience and support our broader athletics initiatives, speaks to the strength of our relationships across the region. Their investment helps create opportunities for our student-athletes, strengthens the experience for our fans and supporters, and allows us to continue building programs that make our community proud.”
