Outline of Activities
Ice hockey is one of the four major professional sports in the United States. Furukawa Electric is a pioneer in the creation of the ice hockey team in Nikko in 1925. HC Tochigi Nikko Ice Bucks, who took over the team, is currently putting up hard fights in Asia League, winning the vice-champion in 2011-2012 season and in 2019 won the 87th All Japan Ice Hockey Championship.
“Waku Waku Dream Seats” is a social contribution activity that aims to contribute to the community welfare and sports promotion through watching sports.
As a partner company, the Company supports this activity, and contributes to the development of young people and the regional development of Nikko City, and expects the expansion of the base of the ice hockey.
In 2020-2021 season as well, we will prepare reserved seats “10 seats” for each of the regular league home games held in Nikko and invite children.
In addition, this year, the Company will support the Kanto Elementary School Ice Hockey League “Ice Bucks Cup” sponsored by Ice Bucks, raise potential players, and contribute to the future of the Japanese ice hockey world.
Furukawa Sangyo and its affiliated companies will continue to actively engage in social contribution activities centered on “Nurturing future generations”, “Promoting sport and culture”, and "Living in harmony with the natural environment and local communities”, which are set forth in Furukawa Electric Group Basic Policy on Social Contribution Activities.
