What People Have to Say

"I am very proud that the Toronto Wolfpack franchise of which I was CEO for the first season was the most successful startup sports team in Toronto history. Our regular crowds of approximately 9,000+ per game were unparalleled. Cosmos Sports handled our ticket sales and sponsorship in that first year and did a spectacular job with tremendous results. I can say without question that they are the best third party sports sales company I have ever worked with. Any sports team would wise to hire Cosmos for their commercial needs. The investment is Cosmos is well warranted"

"Pickleball Ontario recently enlisted the services of Cosmos Sports & Entertainment to compile a report based on various opportunities for pickleball within Ontario. Throughout the entire process I found Cary and his team to be very thorough while compiling data, adhering to deliverables and meeting deadlines. It is also worth noting that I found the team at Cosmos to be well versed in their area of expertise. I do believe that their experience, resilience and passion was the main reason Pickleball Ontario's expectations were not only met but exceeded."

“Cary Kaplan of Cosmos Sports conducted a thought provoking training session for over 50 diverse NHL Club and League executives. The presentation, with a strong focus on how empowering employees and fans leads to dramatically increasing Club revenues, was very well received and had our entire Service & Retention group engaged. Having spent much of my career in the ticket sales industry, this was an effective presentation, consistent with our NHL ‘One Voice’ ticketing foundation. Cary was also open to different points of view based on unique market challenges. I recommend Cosmos Sports’ training to any team or league – it’s logical and addresses topical issues in our industry.”
