Everybody likes to have sponsorship deals because obviously it’s supplemental income throughout the season. That being said, Axel Kirby does not go out of his way to seek sponsorships or endorsements, as he’s a pretty low key guy. He’s probably one of the few players that prefers to stay under the radar and not get deals so he doesn’t have to do events he doesn’t want to go to.

While he doesn’t usually turn down deals - if they’re hockey related of course - he doesn’t go out of his way to get more. The only ones he truly loves doing is anything involving children. He knows what it’s like to be a kid growing up idolizing these players so if he has to go to children events or fundraisers for sick kids, he'll be there. As someone who was lucky enough to make it to the top and achieve his dream, Axel knows that not every kid is so lucky. If he needs to take time to spend it with them, he definitely will, as he knows it’ll make their day.
