John Franzone from the Tampa Bay Lightning joins Jon Cudo for a special look at hockey promotions. We start with a inside look at how the Lightning use their game presentation to highlight the team’s effort in the community and how they try to keep their show entertaining and “elegant”. It’s a really interesting insight into how this NHL team views their game operations.
Franzone and Cudo then discuss several promotional nights including the Lighting’s Fan Appreciation efforts, Vinny Appreciation and Kid’s Appreciation Night, Cowbells with the Colorado Eagles, the intense efforts of the Toledo Walleye, Post-Game Skates in Syracuse, Ugly Sweater Night, Darth Vader Jerseys, Singing for Santa in Gwinette and more.
Also, Jeff Tidball from Big League Interactive joins Cudo for a quick hit of Phone Tag. The show concludes with a call to action for Best of Award Nominations and a teaser for next month’s third annual Best of Gameops.com Audio Roundtable Review.
