James Pepper commented:

This is brilliant news for the Bear Cubs and the Sport in Wales. We have a few ex-Ice and Inline hockey players at Vista, myself included. Inline hockey is a sport that teaches you the importance of teamwork and builds fantastic camaraderie between players, Starting at such a young age there is a strong chance that some of these Cubs could be the stars of UK Ice hockey in years to come”. “When we spotted a social media post by the club stating that they were looking for sponsorship we just had to get involved.

Ricky Deacon Cardiff Bear Cubs commented:

I am so proud of the team and how far they have come in such a short time. The club was only established 18 months ago and to become national champions demonstrates the dedication and commitment that the players have put in. I would also like to thank all of those that have supported from volunteers to sponsors. Without that support the club would never be in the position it is and I hope we continue to go from strength to strength as we move forward into the coming season.
