And now he will be showing his support of the game by sponsoring the Central Hockey League's Power Players on their web site as well as sponsoring their weekly radio show, "On Edge with the CHL", which will not only feature Metal Blade ads but will also have Brian Slagel on as a guest. Metal Blade will also be sponsoring the Ft. Worth Brahmas' "shooter" warm-up jerseys and during the warm-ups they will be playing Metal Blade videos on their scoreboard. The Wichita Thunder will also be included as Metal Blade will be sponsoring the "Player of the Week" section on their web site and their radio programs.

"The Central Hockey League is very pleased to further develop an already outstanding partnership with Brian Slagel and Metal Blade Records," CHL President Brad Treliving said in a statement.
