In addition to the preferred partner status, 5050 Central will be used at the 2012 CHL All-Star Game in Prescott Valley, Arizona and will be the presenting sponsor of the CHL's monthly award for the top rookie presented each month to the top performing first-year player in the CHL for that particular month.
