For the Regina Elk's opening night match against the Newfoundland Berserkers, the team had one hell of an opening show planned. The opening ceremony started off with a synchronised figure skating show where all of the skaters had purple and gold fireworks on the backs of their skates. The heat from the fireworks actually melted the ice a little bit - however, this was all planned, and it actually melted it in the shape of the Elk logo. Next up, a physical representation of every other SMJHL team was brought out onto the ice - a small wooden boat for the Armada, a dinosaur skull for the Raptors, a bear skin rug for the Grizzlies, a wooden log for the Timber, a battleaxe for the Berserkers, a dead fish for the Whalers, a dead octopus for the Kraken, a dead pigeon for the Falcons, a cosplay medieval helmet for the Knights, a RAM truck for the Battleborn, a Harry Potter owl plushie for the Citadelles, a scarecrow for the Scarecrows and a dog toy for the Malamutes. Then, a herd of elk was let out onto the ice. Their handlers did some matador shit to rile them up, and the elk were absolutely enraged. They stampeded all around the rink, stomping all over the other teams. Eventually they calmed down and were taken off the ice, and the match began immediately after (the other debris on the ice wasn't cleaned up until the second intermission)
