yave1964 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 @WingNut722 Last year the Walleye did a Zombie night with the players 'supposedly' being infected by a zombie bite, every period they changed uniforms with each one being more and more grotesque, the build up was that Rick Zombo's son Dominic having been bitten, this was mentioned for a week beforehand and Dominic had a good time with it. my son in law and daughter and one grandson were there, they told fans to come as your favorite zombie and even had face painters in the concourse and by the end of the game half the crowd looked like extras from the walking dead which of course is what they were going for. Toledo does a great job of marketing for a lower level pro hockey city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a lot of owners with really, really, really bad taste in that league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WingNut722 Posted January 13, 2017 Author Share Posted January 13, 2017 @yave1964 I can absolutely understand the owners looking for some kind of hook to get people top the arena, especially kids and families. But does it really have to include making the players wear different uniforms like that? Wouldn't the whole event be just as effective with the standard uniforms, as long as all the other off-ice and concourse activities were intact? @flyercanuck I don't want to ask...I really don't...I....don't......there are 10 uniforms worse than that? I asked............ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
