KILMORE TOYOTA has announced a new partnership with the Melbourne Cobras ahead of the 2026 Hockey One season, reinforcing its long-standing commitment to supporting local communities, families and grassroots sport.
The dealership said it is excited to align with an ambitious new hockey franchise that shares its values of community connection, participation and creating memorable local experiences. It also said the partnership represents a natural extension of Kilmore Toyota’s ongoing investment in initiatives that bring people together and inspire the next generation.
Through the partnership, Kilmore Toyota will deliver community activations designed to connect with families and supporters both at home games and across regional locations throughout the Cobras’ 2026 season.
A key focus of the collaboration will be supporting the growth of grassroots hockey through the Cobras’ expanding Hookin2Hockey program. Kilmore Toyota will play an active role in new and developing centres across Mitchell Shire and beyond, helping to make sport more accessible for young people and families throughout the region.
Kilmore Toyota Dealer Principal Adam Dove said: “We’re incredibly proud to partner with the Melbourne Cobras as they prepare for their inaugural Hockey One season in 2026. Supporting local communities, families and grassroots sport is at the heart of everything we do at Kilmore Toyota, so this partnership is a natural fit for us.
“From creating engaging experiences for fans to supporting programs like Hookin2Hockey in our local towns, we’re excited to help inspire participation and bring people together through sport.”
Hockey Victoria CEO Andrew Skillern welcomed the partnership and its positive impact on the region.
“We are delighted to partner with Kilmore Toyota, an organisation that actively supports local communities and grassroots sport. This collaboration reflects a shared commitment to strengthening connections across Melbourne’s north and creating more opportunities for participation in hockey.”
