I work a full time job, play hockey hockey full time and my bills just like everyone else, but the fact is i dont have 8000$ to spend on hockey fees, and flights ... thats the min i would require to go play, i plan on getting a job while im there and paying for the cost of living.
I wasnt trying to be rude asking if you guys might no of some places to try for sponsorship, yes maybe i should have gone into better detail about the program my mistake ... but the fact is its a chance of a lifetime ... even here in Canada we only have 5 WWHL teams so thats a max of maybe 15 goalies so if i need to branch out to another Country to expand my resume just to stand out i am going to do that.

I think you're missing the point though. It sounds like you're looking for donations, but calling it a sponsorship. With a sponsorship, there is usually something in it for the sponsor (eg advertising). What exactly are you proposing to give a sponsor in return for their money?
If you agree this is a donation vs a sponsorship, what makes this a worthier cause than Haiti, cancer research, heart and stroke foundation, etc.?
This still reads to me like you want to do something and have convinced yourselves somebody else should pay for it. Well I'd like to snowboard in the Swiss Alps...anybody want to sponsor me?
