133 words So, we got an arena... hooray, I guess. But how to christen it? How to start things right for the building in which we will dominate the league? How to get our fans as pumped for the new season, in the new arena, in the same city (rather than Saskatoon) as we are? The answer is as clear as it is obvious: we use those fancy on ice projectors to show the 1988 Jean Claude Van Damme masterpiece Bloodsport. The fans might come for just that, I would. Wouldn't you? Who gives a shit about hockey when we can watch bloodsport on the ice? I barely care about the hockey in comparison, and I'm on the team. Having said that, I have an announcement that I'll be holding out if this doesn't happen.
If you choose to enforce this part of your contract, how would you politely (or otherwise) tell your owner to buzz off? Or would you negotiate a consulting contract? (150+ words)
Paul koivu usually does not really communicate often with the owner of the new england wolfpack, john wolfpack the third, and the owner also does not really involve himself with the players like that, he lets the general manager and the coaches do their job that he pays them to do. So paul would immediately know that something is up if the owner is asking him personally to do something. So paul would consider what the owner is saying, but without committing to anything. Then he would ask his agent what he thinks and if what the owner is asking is outside of his contract legally. If it is, and paul wants to do it, then it is ok, paul will do it. But if it is something paul does not want to do, he will simply politely say he already has something planned, and he cannot make it. No need to be impolite to the owner.
I would not make an issue of it, unless they were asking me to do something that I could not support personally. Being a star on the team means showing up for community events, and doing what is right by the organization. If you do not show up at important events like this means you are not truly committed to the team or the vision that is being presented by ownership. I also feel like a lot of these are well supported by the fans that make this team important and valuable. So it opens another channel to interact with fans, and building a bond with new fans that might be on the edge.
Although if I was asked to do something that I did not support I would have no issue raising my concern over the activity that ownership or management is pitching. It is important to keep you morals and remember what you want to represent at the end of the day.
After a long drawn out process of figuring out where we would be playing next season Thomas Liebold was extremely happy to find out that on top of being able to play in a normal professional ice hockey arena the Vancouver Whalers decided to have a special event for opening night. The special event for opening night is a teddy bear toss that benefits the children of a local hospital. After the first goal scored by the home team, fans are able to throw stuffed animals onto the ice and the Vancouver Whalers will skate around and scoop them up. If the Vancouver Whalers never score in the game the children in the local hospital never get any teddy bears and become sad if they do not have any other toys to play with. it has never happened before but if the Whalers get shut out on a game like this the town would probably riot and force the Whalers to relocate out of Vancouver because of how sad they made the children

I think all the pomp and circumstance that comes with a normal opening night is exactly what we need in these situations. I love seeing all the player introductions, the new captains if there are any, the new players being introduced in front of the home crowd for the first time. One of the most fun experiences I have had at a hockey game was going to the Red Wings home opener where Mantha scored four against Dallas. So much fun for college student Alaska at the time. But it’s especially fun for an organization that is looking to take a step and compete for the Cup, and for us in St. Louis next season, we are expecting to do exactly that. We made some savvy trades, have some good veterans coming back, and we’re in a good spot to compete this season and I know the home crowd will be rocking for that first game.

Opening night obviously needs a special presentation of the roster players before the game. It also needs all kinds of special events, like a free shirt on the seats for all fans, or free bobble heads of a specific player. It would also be cool to throw in stuff like crazy lights and fire inside of the arena, and fireworks outside of the arena, to let everyone both inside and outside how special the opening night is. It would also be fun to try to invite some local celebrities to the game, and maybe branch out and bring in some nationally loved celebrities. And of course those guests need to be advertised on the jumbotron, to let everyone know they are in elite company. Bring back some former Platoon players for the event too, really go for some of the franchise legends. Seeing local celebrities, and living Platoon legends would make for a very special opening night for this new arena.
Collin Gibbles has been through 24 different opening nights in his time playing for the Minnesota Monarchs. With all of his vast experience it was no surprise that the team management wanted to get his input on what would make the next seasons opening day even more special. Gibbles was able to work out a deal with local food vendors that he partners with for charity to do a special $2 burger, hotdog, and cider night at the new arena. Along with the special food offerings for opening night, there would be a game worn jersey giveaway. Random tickets sold would be visited midgame by a member of the organization to come to the ice after the game and receive a jersey worn that night by the players. And to cap it all off, after the game, the arena roof will open up to reveal a special fireworks display to celebrate opening night.
After all the craziness of going through getting a new stadium I'm making sure the fans have an opening night to remember. Before the game there will be autograph signings of former St. Louis greats, free food and drink vouchers. There will be games to play like corn hole, mini stick hockey and even a NHL 23 tournament. Every fan in attendance gets a special Hayes the Scarecrow bobblehead. Inside there's a new and updated team shop and the Maze of Crows which is a special exhibit that celebrates all the members of the Scarecrow Hall of Fame. During the game their will be special videos celebrating the old stadium, the fans, and players past and present, along with a video tour of the inside of the new stadium. After the game there will be a big fireworks show a couple minutes away from the stadium. And the best part of it is the owner is flipping the bill for all of it.

1st SHL Goal - S52 Game 1 vs Tampa 3. New England Wolfpack , Jakub Bruchevski 1 (Eko Van Otter 1, Delver Fudgeson 2) at 8:10
When it comes to opening night extras, it's all about food and beverages. First off, we'll have a giveaway for the first 5,000 fans in the arena who will receive a specially made hot dog 28" in length and branded with the team logo. It also comes with relish, mustard, and chili. In addition, we'll be serving custom cocktails to celebrate opening night with one of each popular spirit. We'll have a gin cocktail, one with vodka, one with tequila, and of course a bourbon drink. On top of that, we'll offer a free skate after the game for whoever wants to get out on the ice and do a few laps to celebrate this momentous occasion. And you can't forget about the cash giveaways that will happen between every period. Thanks to our lucrative corporate sponsors, we'll be giving away $1,000 to 250 different fans based on a random raffle of their seats. We're pulling out all the stops to get this season kicked off in a huge way for our most beloved fans.
opening night will feature a live performance by some of Atlanta's greatest hip hop acts of all time but the catch is they have to perform on the ice so they're gonna be slip sliding around. the insurance policy on this must've been crazy i bet the insurance people @5ympathies are making a boatload of money setting this one up. and the franchise hired all the top nerds around the league @goldenglutes to make sure things are to be run as safely as possible. anyway the hip hop acts will be going sicko mode and we've got such an insane lineup featuring andre 2000 and Large Boi (sometimes known together as Outlast) @Z-Whiz and we've also got Ridiculous and his hit songs Move Mitch and Number Two Spot. We also recruited Jermaine Twothree (Welcome to Atlantis). And B.o.B. (no need for a knockoff we got the real one he's so cheap now [remember when he thought the earth was flat - he still might]). The fans will love it! and the players will love it too!
Written Task: See, none of this off-ice promotional stuff is actually in your contract. You have to put on a good face in interviews and not do enough cocaine to make the news, but stumping for a new stadium or designing events on behalf of your owner is outside your job description.
If you choose to enforce this part of your contract, how would you politely (or otherwise) tell your owner to buzz off? Or would you negotiate a consulting contract? (150+ words)
If this off-ice promotional stuff was not actually in your, Bnana NWaffles', contract but the ownership and stadium builder people were using it there would be a huge legal battle and it would not be pretty! Now let's say what is brought to the table is something that interests the ownership and company, and they reach out to NWaffles about it, of course there would be talks about putting it into the contract. I would imagine it would be along the lines of one big sum of money for helping get the plan going or getting the stadium and its amenities built, or something like a percentage of sales that what is built is brought in. I, Bnana NWaffles would one hundred percent take the percentage deal, as that could potentially bring in so much more money. Don't think the buzz off would ever be said unless they said you (Bnana) are doing this for free, then it’s a big kick in the pants and we are now talking about getting traded, lol.
After multiple fans asked to have "something spectacular" in the opening night of the new Montreal Patriotes Arena on Parkway Drive, Montreal franchise members agreed to host one hell of a concert after the game starting at 3pm on Saturday. Agreeing to only including bands from the area, the lineup would be one worthy to go for any metal or sports enjoyers. Starting off would be Divides, a melodic post-hardcore , followed up by Soiled Diapers, who will be having their last concert of all time given the fact that the band disbanded in 2022. Finishing off the spectacle would be something out of the box, as the Patriotes were able to book One Direction all the way from Australia to play as the headliner on their opening night. It was heavily ridiculed because the owners only wanted groups from Canada, but given the fact that the new arena is literally located on a single-direction road, it only made the most sense.
