Weekend Funtime: Failed Promotions

Blizzard S43: Day in high heels  Blizzard

During S43, Edmonton organized an event that was designed to show solidarity towards women who often are almost forced to wear high heels in the modern society. During the event, all the men could get in for free as long as they wore high heels the whole time. Good idea, but it backfired immediately, all the women still had to pay to get in, the total number of women who were protesting outside the Blizzard arena was estimated to have been well over a dozen. On top of that, quite few of the men who decided to wear high heels for the event managed to hurt themselves quite badly, falling down resulted in broken ankles and other minor injuries.

S43 Buffalo Stampede to boost morale decided to promote their first playoff game of the season by giving out stuffed Buffalo's to the first 500 in the door however due to bad management they accidentally ordered Panthers instead of Buffalos!

S39 Manhattan Rage -- Relive the Glory
The Rage had created a promotion in the off-season prior to S39 to revisit their miracle run for the S38 Challenge Cup with it highlighting the general managers Bubba Nuck and Brett Kennedy. However, by the time we had the "relive" promotion, it had taken on a whole new meaning. It was even worse that it had been planned for a game against the Seattle Riot, when Kennedy would be returning. It was just salt in the wounds, constantly. I don't think Kennedy ever wants to relive this again. Nor do the Rage. Eek.

An old man's dream ended. A young man's vision of the future opened wide. Young men have visions, old men have dreams. But the place for old men to dream is beside the fire.

The "Bring your support animal to the game" promotion sounded like a great idea to someone in the head office. Although bringing thousands of animals, many of different species, under one roof was not a good idea. The clean up for the feces turn out to be the easy part considering the lawsuits.

S40 - In an attempt to draw fans to the stadium despite being in the middle of a rebuild, the Rage hosted a "peanut brittle night". You could buy a box of it for 30 dollars. Now despite the fact that the pricing was way off, the Rage also failed to consider that nobody likes peanut brittle, so as you can guess the promotion failed miserably, and no one showed up.

S44 Toronto North Stars : This time it will be different

The team tried to convince their good start was no fluke to their fans but they were still doubting after years of suffering and attendance still very low. So the team went all in to prove them wrong by inviting Tommy "the curse" Tuck for the next game and tickets only 10$. Toronto hasn't won since then

Find Paligma Day! The Falcons sent fans on a hunt for Paligma before thier big game against the Scarecrows. Winner gets free tickets to the game and nachos. Turns out nobody could find Paligma and they had to play in front of an empty stadium.

The Los Angeles Panthers held an online competition where you could send in a picture to win free season tickets for a year. The pictures were all posted on the Panthers website, but were not reviewed. This resulted in people sending in inappropriate pictures, including nudity, dictators, killings, etc.

S43 Halifax Raiders  raiders :

With a dreadful season for the Raiders, management thought of a great promotion to attract some fans. The promotion was for fans to bring a water balloon filled with water from their homes to be added to the home ice during intermission. While some fans brought water as intended, some disgruntled fans brought urine within their balloons.

In season 42 the Edmonton Blizzard had an idea for each fan going to a Friday night game to get a coupon for a free Dairy Queen Blizzard at their games. Unfortunately there are only 2 Dairy Queen kiosks at the arena and fans ended up either being upset at the long lines and therefore not getting their Blizzard or spending more time in the lines than they did watching the games! It ended up being a huge public relations fiasco that really hurt the Edmonton Blizzard. Dairy Queen on the other hand saw a small bump in their sales for the next week in the city of Edmonton.

Post a failed promotion for any SHL or SMJHL team. promotion must include the team name, the season, the promotions title and what the promotion entails.

Season 44: Calgary Dragons hosted a "Dragons blasted Parm Party", unfortunately, Esa ate all the Chicken Parms and the party ended up being a messy potty Tongue

S41

Last home game of the Prince George Firebird's season. Last game in Prince George. At this point, it was a known fact the team was moving to Anchorage to become the Armada. The team gave out ships with McLovin being the captain of the ship and being a bobblehead. The fans were pretty ticked off and felt it was a slap in the face. No one is really sure what the front office was thinking, but they certainly not thinking well.
