Chuck-A-Pucks

We have received a lot of emails about Chuck-a-Puck. If you are not familiar with Chuck-a-Puck, keep reading. Its a great fan interactive promotion that can help sell group seats, generate revenue and build great sponsor inventory.

This promotion is a great visual and it has the possibility of generating revenue, offering groups fund-raising, and can offer fantastic sponsorship possibilities. This idea was submitted on the Gameops.com Promotions Board: (Thanks Quad City Mallards and others).

Numbered (soft foam) pucks are sold prior to the game. $1 per puck. Purchasers are logged according to puck number. At a period break, targets are placed on the ice. Anyone who lands their puck on a target wins the corresponding prize.

There are also insurance policies you can purchase which enable you to indemnify a spot on the ice for a large cash prize. For example, you can award a $1,000 prize for fans who are able to land their puck on the center circle. Prizes for closest and for partially landing on the center dot. They also note this as a revenue driver.

You can use signage on the ice as well. Any puck resting on the sign wins the prize from that sponsor. Some teams use targets like grocery shopping carts as targets, fans getting their puck inside the cart win prizes from that identified sponsor. Prize targets can be visual and creative as well, one restaurant laid out a ring of diner plates and all pucks inside the ring of plates wins a free dinner.

Because fans are buying these pucks for just $1, we suggest pucks are not imprinted. This tends to increase the perceived value of the puck (putting your logo on it makes it into a $1 souvenir)
