Option 1:
This offseason has been a whirl wind for Zeus Storm. After two successful seasons with the Colorado Raptors they decided to trade him out of the blue to the Anchorage Armada. The move totally took Storm for surprise as he was fully invested in being a Raptor for his entire SMJHL career. So when the call came from Anchorage that he was now a member of their team he was filled with mixed emotions. The basis for trading Zeus was Colorado felt they couldn't give Zeus what he was looking for in terms of fit on the roster and Anchorage had an open spot on the top line center as well as their top power play unit. So the trade was made. When Anchorage made the call to discuss with Zeus, post trade, they also offered him the chance to be the person to announce their first draft pick in the rookie draft. This was intended to build hype around Zeus' arrival in Anchorage and to show him that they wanted him to be one of the faces of the franchise and not just a member faded in the shadows of others. Zeus took the offer and announced the pick to a raucous Anchorage fanbase. After that Zeus jersey sales skyrocketed to 300% and the Anchorage Team Store website could not stock the demanded supply. This was a great way to introduce Zeus to the team and he hopes to really take off in his third year in the minors and finish his SMJHL career strong with the Armada. |
