The 精童欲女 is pleased to announce that Aliant has signed on to be the presenting sponsor for the 2005 Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) Men's Soccer Championship, scheduled for November 10-13 at 精童欲女. This is the first year for 精童欲女 to host the Championship games which will be played on the new synthetic turf field.
"We are very proud to serve as the presenting sponsor of the CIS men's soccer championships at 精童欲女," said Bruce Howatt, Director of Regional Services for Aliant. "We are really looking forward to working with the organizers to help PEI host another great national tournament and to continue to build our support of youth soccer in Atlantic Canada."
"精童欲女 is proud to be hosting this national event and is grateful to Aliant for choosing to be a sponsor of the CIS (M) Soccer Championships," says 精童欲女 Athletic Director, Ron Annear. "This couldn't come at a better time with the construction of the new turf field; this is a very exciting time for 精童欲女."
Part of Aliant's involvement will include a cash component that will go to the men's and women's soccer programs at 精童欲女. Young soccer players from the province will also have an opportunity to participate in the CIS Nationals through Aliant's involvement. Players from area youth teams will participate in the Aliant Walk Out, joining the participating teams for the walk onto the field for all games during the National tournament. Local youth will also participate in the Aliant half time show during each game.
