Written Option 2: Home Opening nights are usually big shows for the hosting team. Fans are watching with anticipation, waiting for the first look at what their favourite teams are going to look like this season. How does your player try to make opening night special? Do they stay behind to sign autographs for the fans? Do they give it 120% to get a win for the first home game of the season? Do they do special celebrations when introduced in the pre-game ceremony?
Typically on most opening nights at the Highlander barn in Ottawa, my skater will cook hotdogs out front of the arena for any fans that show up two hours before we have to get dressed for the game. Most of the time the General Manager will also have some bagpipe players to get the crowd ready for the match. If it's an election year in Canada, then the team provides an old car for fans to shoot and/or throw pucks at, as a way for people to get their frustrations out while chowing down on a famous Highlander dog. A lot of the times fans will come up to the team to get them to sign autographs or take a quick photo, which is highly encouraged and looked forward to by the players on the team. Community is a strong draw for us in Ottawa, we look for ways to give back to the people who come to our games. 165 words |
