We have been writing this statement for a few weeks, but now is finally the right time for us to post. We are delighted to announce that we are expecting our first child in early 2023, after getting married last November.
Unfortunately, this does mean that we have made the difficult decision to give up Pucking Mad. It started as a lockdown venture which took us far, seeing us travelling down to Manchester, shipping our pucks abroad, becoming part of teams, weddings and other special events. We will never, ever forget the feeling of having our business name shouted around the arena on game nights at the Braehead Arena and hearing it on TV as a Player sponsor for Manchester during the Elite Series during the covid 19 season.
We had big plans for our business, but even bigger plans for our future as a family. We continued with Pucking Mad whilst also both working full time jobs, Gordon also continued to be the Graphic Designer for Glasgow Clan. We know that to expect to continue all of this, plus raise a child, is impossible, so our decision is made.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our valued and returning customers, some who have become friends, for your continued support over the last 2 years. When we were asked to make that first puck with a photo of a special little cat, we never imagined the adventure we would embark on over 2 years. Thank you to our family and friends for the continued support and understanding.
A special thank you to Gareth Chalmers at Glasgow Clan who believed in our little business and was the first team to trust in us for merchandise pucks. We have been amazed and honoured to be able to sponsor the team throughout covid, and also have the opportunity to sponsor a player throughout the 2021/22 season. Thanks to Clan OSC for the recent support also.
Thank you to the Manchester Storm for the support. It was an honour to provide your merchandise, and to be able to sponsor a talented player during the 2021 Elite Series. Thank you to Storm Support for the ongoing support!
Also thanks to Peelers IHC and the Blackburn Hawks for the sponsorship opportunities.
We will be offering discount on our products that we have in stock and will continue supplying pucks for teams until the start of the new season, to give time to find a new supplier.
We feel that this post wouldn't be complete without sharing a photo of the reason for this post.
