Comtec have consolidated their alliance with UK Ice Hockey this month by securing a deal with the BMI Baby Elite Ice Hockey League - in which the Comtec sponsored Manchester Phoenix play, to produce the inaugural Man of Ice Awards 2008.

The awards have been set up to acknowledge the best players and coaches in the top flight of UK Ice Hockey, and are due to be held on the weekend of the playoff finals in April.

The project will involve the building of a website, including an area in which Hockey fan's can vote for their 'Fan's Favourite' and decide which player they think is 'Hard as Ice'. Furthermore, Comtec have been trusted with designing all the artwork for the event including tickets, menus and email campaigns that will be distributed by all nine clubs in the Elite League.

For 2008, everyone at Comtec has vowed to make the company a better place. Working with North of England Excellence, over the coming months Comtec are hoping to become more efficient and continually self-improve.
