Slowpoke doesn’t appear to be a player that would seek out sponsorship opportunities. That’s not to say he’s opposed to being involved with companies outside of the hockey space but he’s also not actively campaigning and searching for the next deal to sign his name to. He’s a big fan of deals that have a connection to him or the local community. That, or any deal that he finds funny for the most part. One of his first deals was with a rubber ducky company that made a number of variations of Slowpoke to include seasonal attire, hockey gear, and a number of other professions. They also had a chase gold slowpoke included that only a few buyers were able to get their hands on. Besides a rubber ducky just being funny, the company promised to put a donation towards whatever cause Slowpoke wanted which happened to be a local animal shelter in Buffalo.
