A young Ice Hockey player has won a national competition to win a year’s supply of ice hockey equipment from manufacturer Sher-Wood. Finley Bradon, aged 8, from School Aycliffe, won the sponsorship for this current season after an online vote run by leading Ice Hockey Equipment supplier, Nekoti.co.uk.
The competition was open to ice hockey players, adult and juniors alike. Nearly 200 players from across the United Kingdom entered and over 9,000 votes were cast. The competition saw Finley not only receive votes from family and friends locally but also from across the globe.
