MET Group, a leading international energy company headquartered in Baar, and Zug-based ice hockey club EVZ are proud to announce a new partnership. Starting with the 2025/26 season, MET Group has come onboard as a Bronze Sponsor of the EVZ Men’s Team.
As part of the sponsorship agreement, MET Group will enjoy prominent visibility at all EVZ National League home games.
In addition, MET Group will actively support the EVZ youth development program “The Hockey Academy”, contributing to the growth of young talents.
“With MET Group, we are gaining a partner that perfectly fits our strategy: locally rooted, internationally connected, and strongly committed to youth development. We look forward to a successful collaboration,” says Ibrahim Can, Head of Marketing & Sales and Member of the EVZ Management Board.
MET Group also shares this enthusiasm: “Like MET, EVZ has big European ambitions. From its base in Zug, the club is not only battling in the National League this year but also competing in the Champions Hockey League. Peak performance, team spirit, talent development - that’s exactly what drives us too,” explains Tobias Kistner, Group Communications Director at MET Group.
The sponsorship agreement will initially run until the end of the 2026/27 season, with an option for further extension.
