COACH Kevin Parrish is hoping the Invicta Dynamos can secure enough sponsorship this summer to ensure a return to the English Premier League (EPL).

The Dynamos were crowned English National Ice Hockey League champions on Sunday for the fourth successive season.

The loss of a major financial backer forced the Gillingham-based club from the EPL in 2003, and Parrish wants a return. But for that to happen the club need to attract significant financial backing.

Parrish said: "Getting back to the EPL would be a massive jump but it would be good for the club.

"The marketing of the club has improved over the last couple of years and while it would be nice to have a big backer, we are also looking for lots of smaller ones."
