Dunkler is always open to sponsorship deals, so long as they connect with fans rather than alienate them. All sponsorship deals may not pay the same, but they are all just about money at the end of the day. Dunkler prefers to pick and choose sponsors that aren’t going to eat away at the fan experience, people’s sanity, or their wallets. His favorite sponsorships are snacks or drinks, followed by local businesses. He also doesn’t mind hockey gear sponsors.

There are a few brands or products he cannot stand and will never be involved with. Firstly, sports betting. Annoying and prevalent ads would mean any association could turn negative quickly. Next is anything to do with healthcare and insurance. Nothing about a pro athlete promoting something like a prescription drug, hospital system, or insurance company will ever make that decision easier for the person having to make it. The last thing they would want is their favorite Barracuda spouting some lame catchphrase while they are trying to budget out next year’s benefits.
