Krefeld After the Krefeld Pinguine cut their financial commitment to the KEV 81 training association, there is a gap in the budget. That is now being stuffed with the help of two former players.
The KEV 81 has a new premium sponsor, but one that is different from almost all others. The Fischbach Holding from Gelsenkirchen will support the KEV. The special feature: The two managing directors and shareholders Lukas Heise and Danny Fischbach used to play in the offspring of the black and yellow and therefore feel connected to the KEV.

Twelve years ago, the former ice hockey players took over the painting business after the sudden death of Fischbach’s father and have since expanded it into a company with around 300 employees and an annual turnover of 120 million euros. The company deals with all things construction-related. At the start of the KEV, Heise says: “I have spent half my life in the ice rink and played with Adrian Grygiel among the youngsters. And if the tree burns at KEV, it goes without saying that we should help. “Fischbach adds:” I played here myself; we want to give something back now. When we were approached, it was a matter of the heart for us to help. “

The company logo will adorn both the bully points and both sides of the gang in the Rheinlandhalle. The lettering can also be seen on the helmets of all players from U7 to U23. It was not known how high the level of engagement was. However, it should be in the lower six-digit range. KEV sports director Elmar Schmitz said: “This is by far the largest sponsor we have ever had. Such support cannot be taken for granted. “

The KEV chairman Achim Staudt thanked the two former young players and now successful entrepreneurs: “If we hadn’t received this support, it would hardly have been possible to maintain our youth development as usual. Also because the penguins had to reduce their support due to a lack of audience income, we were missing a six-figure amount. But I don’t want to forget our other sponsors who continue to support us. Financially we are not over the mountain yet and as the board of directors we have just taken a little risk with the announcement of the league team. “

In this context, Staudt again pointed out the companion campaign, in which permanent or single tickets for the league games can be purchased. “The campaign got off to a great start, so we’ve extended it. The league team is also an important part of our training, we don’t report this team for fun. “
