Let's keep this one going with suggestions --------- not criticisms----------of how to improve the Mudbugs.....on the ice and community involvement suggestions.

Mr Scott says in his email that he has a couple of legal pads of ideas for intermission and promotional ideas. I love the sound of that. I haven't been in the BC area enough to know....do they use players in TV spots for charity? Our local humane society and the like said if we could get a fan fave or two to do spots wearing a jersey and id themselves in the ad doing a positive statement for the charity they could get the airtime free along with the camera crew to film it. Our owners never took advantage of that offer....opting instead to sell the team's name to the anti-smoking campaign. Seems there was money paid to celebs to be spokesman after the tobacco settlement. So from there out the owners refused to allow a player to do an ad with a team logo for free. But the use of the players for a charity spot promotes the team and gives the team free air time on local radio and tv! good luck with this thread hockeenut....seriously ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ SUPPORT OUR TROOPS!

As for TV ads...I have seen none but it is a great idea and a great way to get the "brand" out there. Thanks for the positive comment !!!

PODS was also a big help with both of these last time. I know these suggestions are all player demanding but what better way to get the team name out there than through player/community sponsorship. What they did in the park/school in Central Park last spring was AWESOME and received several tv/paper write ups.

The kids just loved it and many of them started coming to the games. I know we have never done a kids day-why not?

Registered User Posts: 35 (07/04/09 15:20:05) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts Report Post	The reason given for why we don't have kid's day is because of state testing dates. Since it is much later this year, maybe the superintendents will be more acceptable. Ray has the new testing dates. If anyone who reads the message board works in any of the schools in Bossier or Caddo would contact me at joseseaman@att.net, there are a couple of us working on setting up times for the players to visit the schools. Scott asked us to do this earlier but with things in limbo, we are just now gettng on it. Does not have to be a teacher.

Scotty was more than happy to send some of the guys and the kids thought it was great !

Which ever "class" sold the most tics to a game got to have b'fast with some of the players. Needless to say quite a few were sold.
