Hamden, Conn. - March 30, 2011 - High Point Solutions of Sparta, N.J. has agreed to a $1 million sponsorship of Quinnipiac University's ice hockey arena at the TD Bank Sports Center for the next five seasons.

We are excited about this corporate partnership and want to thank President John L. Lahey and the Board of Trustees for this opportunity."

Quinnipiac Director of Athletics Jack McDonald said that, along with TD Bank, High Point Solutions will enhance what is already a great fan-friendly hockey arena and one of the best facilities in all of intercollegiate athletics.

I am looking forward to even more success in the High Point Solutions Arena."
