Boots will add a clause to his contract that he is happy to provide feedback on direction of team, ownership and possible events that may effect the team or otherwise. Boots will not be directly responsible for the feedback provided or held accountable in any way. Should ill results arrive from possible feedback, Boots will not be punished or blamed in any way as the ultimate decisions are up to management and owners. In the case that positive results arrive from feedback provided by Boots, he will also not be held responsible as his role is not significant and only wishes for the better for the team. However, if positive results arrive from the team and it's members, a pizza party must be had in the team locker room with pizza provided from management. Pizza will be of decent quality and family may have the option to partake as well. Following the pizza party will be optional drinks held at the local nearby bar.
I mean in the end it is a business and we are playing a game so telling my owner or GM that I refuse to do something that is not in my contract is not something I am afraid of doing or think is a problem in the slightest. If they felt that it was something important enough for me to do for the team throughout the season then they should have included it with contract negotiations or even tried to slip it in the fine print. That is what we have agents for and I will stick by that. If my owner has any issue with me upholding my side of the contract that he legally agreed to then he can talk to my lawyer or he can trade me to a team that has an owner who does not care. I don't think my owner will care though, there are plenty of players on the team who will step up to do these things and the owner has always been very open with us allowing us to voice our concerns and the like.
Filip Svatos loves parties! Especially when it comes to bringing more people to the game of hockey. He hopes the team would do something special for the fans. Maybe like a pizza party? (Instead of raises). All seriousness, the team would have free t-shirts for every fan that attended that day. A big party out front of the rink before the game, with barbeques, bouncy castles, meet and greet with the players, and everyones fan favourite a big old dunk tank. Inside the rink, we would have a special video ready for the jumbotron. Thanking our loyal fan base, and how much they mean to us. The video would show lots of clips of the team going around the community and doing things to support them. Whether it is a garbage clean up, or learn to skate. Just community involvement showing them how much we care. The city needs to be reminded just how important their loyalty as a fan base really is.
I contact the smartest people I know, scientists! I need to make a flavor that is down right bitter. I want something that will not be forgotten, because the way that ownership slighted the city, and showed them how little they care needs to not be forgotten. It can be forgiven over time, but seriously, an opening night cake? Frig off. That's like saying you won't pay your frontline workers a raise or bonus, while you get both and you tide them over with an office pizza party. And to further slap them you don't even buy good pizza. Talk about showing people what they actually mean to you. I want this celebration derailed, because the fans mean nothing to our greedy owners, and that needs to be forefront. They are nothing but fat wallets. Actually, aside from bitter, let's get some ex-lax in there. Let the fans shit all over opening night just like the owners and the league have been shitting all over them. At least it will be talked about.
P1- For the opening night in our brand new stadium, we want to create a special event that will leave a lasting impression on our fans. After careful consideration, we have decided to go with a unique and unforgettable spectacle: a stunning laser light show combined with a grand fireworks display.
As the lights dim and the crowd anticipates the start of the game, a hush falls over the stadium. Suddenly, vibrant laser beams cut through the darkness, painting intricate patterns and shapes in the air. The lasers dance and weave, synchronized to an epic soundtrack that resonates through the stadium, creating a mesmerizing visual and auditory experience.
Just as the fans are captivated by the laser show, the night sky above the stadium erupts in a dazzling burst of colors. Fireworks of all shapes and sizes light up the heavens, illuminating the stadium and filling the air with a symphony of crackles and booms. The combination of the laser light show and fireworks creates a breathtaking display that leaves the crowd in awe.
Not only will this opening night spectacle be a feast for the senses, but it will also symbolize the dawn of a new era for our team and our fans. It will be a celebration of our new home, a symbol of our commitment to providing top-notch entertainment, and a memory that our fans will cherish for years to come.
Justin Time is happy to do the extra work to help the team publicize through interviews and other media appearances, but he doesn't work for free either. As part of his latest contract, Time has worked out an appearance fee, limitations on when and where he can be asked to contribute, and gets a percentage of all team profits from the events he plans, coordinates, or appears at. Then, once the event is done and the fees paid, he donates his share of the revenue back to youth hockey organizations in each of the cities he's played in. Playing for the Blizzard has been so much more than just a career for Justin that he loves to take part in every event he can to support his teammates and the great fans in Edmonton that have stood by the team through our tough rebuild. Now, more than ever, they deserve to have the team backing them and making the most of our time in the spotlight.
opening night is going to be a blast. there will be an outdoor barbeque party prior to the gates opening follwoed by the one event that will really get everyones blood flowing, a multiperson cage fight with at elast 20 fans in the cage. the ebst part is tehre is going to be no warning on who is selected for teh fight. this is going to make everything much better. in addition the team is sponsoring lower prices for concessions thtat night to make sure the fans are able to try all of the new things that are on offer in the stadium. now the final thing taht we will do is, well all of it again after the game. tjis time the team is going to get involved and go out with with fans for the barbeque as well as joining in on the fights. i plan on getting in the cage and taking the titel too and i will dab over the bodies of the fallen losers.
Dave Heinrich: So I understand that you want me to help plan some grand display for opening night, but I am not equipped or qualified for such a role. If you would be so kind as to peruse my contract you will see that I am only here to play hockey and that is my only legal obligation to the team. That is something that I am actually equipped and qualified to do. Given that I would like to stick to just playing hockey for you.
Team Owner: You think you can backtalk me and get away with it boy?
Dave Heinrich: Under normal circumstances no sir, however I have a feeling that today you'll see my side of things.
Team Owner: Oh and why's that?
Dave Heinrich: Cause this time my agent supported me telling you off.
Team Owner: What.
Dave Heinrich: See they normally love helping out with weird stuff, but they have been busier than usual recently so when I suggested I could point out the fact that we are not obligated to help with all of this and were doing it as a favor to you they were quite pleased. Now you of course have no problem bossing me around given my lot in life here, however we both know you are not about to pick a fight with my agent. So unless you want me to call them I trust I am free to go?
The cake will obviously be the most obnoxious cake I could possibly conceive. It will be like 5 layers like a wedding cake, where every layer gets skinnier than the next. On top of that, the topper will be @Zombiewolf and I in a very VERY sexually charged embrace. Of course, it will be PG for the kids (unfortunately). We want to keep it classy. Each layer will be a different flavor: chocolate, red velvet, vanilla, carrot and fruit and each layer will have different icing on it. I will also strategically hide a nice surprise inside every layer of the cake, just to keep people on their toes. Inside the first layer, there will be a hot dog. Inside the second layer, there will be a Taco Bell supreme beef taco. Inside the third layer, there will be a smaller version of the cake, but it will be made entirely out of dog food. Inside the fourth layer, there will be a single tooth from a homeless man and inside the last layer there will be a live grenade.

Tommi Koivu, the formidable defenseman for the Hamilton Steelhawks of the Simulation Hockey League, stood before his locker, reluctantly preparing for a task he dreaded—the end-of-season locker cleanup. As the final buzzer of the season echoed through the arena, Tommi's thoughts shifted from the disappointment of being eliminatted from the playoffs to the impending chore that awaited him. With a deep breath, Tommi unzipped his gear bag, unleashing a pungent wave of hockey odors that assaulted his senses. The combination of sweat, equipment, and hard-fought battles lingered within the confines of his locker, a testament to the grueling season they had endured. Grimacing, Tommi donned a pair of gloves and armed himself with industrial-grade cleaning supplies. He delved into the task, tackling the smelly jerseys, socks, and equipment that had absorbed the intensity of each game. The stench seemed to have taken on a life of its own, as if the sweat and sacrifice of the season had seeped into the very essence of the locker room. As Tommi scrubbed and sanitized, memories flooded his mind. The laughter shared with teammates, the camaraderie built during practices, and the adrenaline-fueled battles on the ice. Each stain, each lingering scent, held a story of the season's highs and lows.
After being asked many times to "Do this for the organization!" I finally looked into the details of my contract. What I came away with is that I am not obligated to do any of this. Now, I'm not one to start drama or cause internal issues, but this got me shaking. I went to my managers office and said, quite plainly, "No, I will not do this anymore." I will not being doing these little gimmicks anymore. If they want me to promote things, they need to pay me or compensate me in some form or way. No more free handouts. Then my manager did the unthinkable, something I was not planning on. He offered me to host pizza nights for the fans. Just like that, I was back into it. Promoting the hell out of the team and the sponsors by making pizza with fans. It always comes back to pizza in my life.
Look. It's not my job. I can bring alchool to kids at the hospital, sign autographs and leave my phone number to cute daddies, smile at reporters after the playoffs games we lost without shouting at them. (What did mean "do you think you lost because you put vodka in your Gatorade ???) Doing promo stuff, it is not me. I am not a role model. I cannot be the face of the organisation. Put Baku out there. Put sir Devoir as an exemple of resilience. Put Bergmark as the future rookie of the year (and if he does not win, I lose faith in humanity). Put Lord Raiden because 1) he is a lord and 2) he is a great captain. Or put Frye, Liebold, Rabinov, O'Rugg as the face of the bright future ahead. But don't put me. Baltimore deserves better. Or bring me a new contract with a 500k bonus. Rent is not cheap in Maryland, you know.
