Edmonton definitely has a fake snow machine they use inside during the press announcing hirings and signings to represent the blizzard environment not to mention an arctic fox that chews people's ankles.

The Great Falls Grizzlies have an awfully controversial contract negotiations method of having a live Grizzly Bear in the room to intimidate players into taking more favorable contracts for the front office.

All signings and hirings done by the Montreal Patriotes are unique in SHL world in that they are simultaneously announced in both English and French on the team's social media

The Ottawa Highlanders are known to have a popular book club that attracts players from many different teams. I think it would be fun if Ottawa used book references to announce their hirings and signings.

The Calgary Dragons announce their signings from atop a hoard of gold coins and treasure! All of it in total is valued at about 75 million, just like the SHL salary cap.

A team spokesperson could announce it from a citadel tower, town crier style, and the recording of it would be spread on the usual social media channels.

Tampa requires their newest signings to jump into a pool filled hungry barracuda. I question the reasoning internally but I have not the strength or mental fortitude to do so externally. Luckily we've only had a few incidents so far.

In St Louis, new signings and hires are announced by carrier crow. In Edmonton, we force reports to trudge out into the blizzards to see the news writ in the snow.

Unique thing for signings? @micool132 already trades me every time we draft, trade, cut, or early-retire any other player on the team or coming to the team. I don't want anything more "unique" because I've already been on 58 different teams. I'm pretty sure micool has traded me to the Moon at this point.

I would like to see some videos about signings. Hiring there should be some party moves. I would say this would be very interesting and also entertaining for all.

I would love a promo package for every signing & hiring the Newfoundland Berserkers discover after running through the applications on Linkedin. The promo package can include the hiring's attributes or the player's stats from the previous seasons.

So how do we announce signings in New Orleans? It’s quite simple. We launch purple and black smoke from the arena chambers and smokestacks. And also across all skyscrapers in the big easy.

In Texas we got some people dress as cowboy run into the city on horses to call people into coming to the arena for a announcement on the next day.

Every time that the Forge hire or sign anyone to the team, or acquire anyone via trade, they do their signature Forge thing and create a custom poured logo of the Forge with the year and date that the contract or trade was signed.
