Forget corporate sponsors – one of Hamilton's biggest rock bands wants to back a youth hockey team for the upcoming season.

The band's members, some of whom are ardent hockey fans, announced online this week that they want to fund a team for things like socks and jerseys that would include the band's logo.

"We are also looking to keep going with updates through the season so we can see how the team is doing," a post on Facebook reads. "Win or lose it's all about fun and we'd love to see a team reppin' the MT logo on the ice!"

To enter a youth team into contention, the band is asking people to send a detailed email to monstertruckmonstertruck@gmail.com explaining why your team should win the sponsorship.

"Feel free to get creative with videos and/or photos," the band said. You'll also want to include what you'll need beyond socks and hockey sweaters and a backstory on the team.

Deadline for submissions is Sept. 1.
