    Actual NHL players, or players that have played in the NHL before?

    There is a big difference between a Mike Testwuide and a Mike Richards.

    I really hope they release the rosters soon. The anticipation is starting to get to me.

    Also, just watched the video.

    Their banner “Roy vs Hasek” is actually Roy vs Osgood. Oh dear. They include the awful Kapanen hit, but miss the part where him not staying down allows JR to score the game winner. 50 seconds of Pavel Bure, and then misspelling a**hole as a**whole!

    That was all kinds of awful. Bad fights, bad music, bad quality video, bad hockey.

    Agreed, Todd. These guys are honestly terrible event promoters. I can’t think of anything they’ve done that has enticed me to go to their games, and I’m of the class of people for whom it really wouldn’t take much.

    My favourite is whenever someone queries them they delete the comment rather than respond?

    I mean admittedly the queries have been feeling accusatory, but they could still respond.
    Twice I asked if the reason they needed a poster girl was was because no one would recognise the players?

    Good Response (assuming legit): No, we have great players coming, we just looking to appease the horny sports fan.

    Dougal and Webster Response: Delete

    Some guy posted a screen grab of Vector Arena showing no events booked in July

    Good Response: Hey we have the event just haven’t booked the arena yet, or we are waiting to confirm players before we book arena.

    Dougal and Webster Response : Delete

    Seems they have a good PR dept…

    Can you get a screengrab of that Arena booking and post it here? At least they can’t delete it if it’s here.

    Oh, I see. I thought you meant they had a screenshot of a private list of bookings, not just the list on their website.

    I finally pushed them over the edge….I have officially been kicked off the list of people who like the event hahahah

    Awesome.

    I think its because i said there event was going to be theatrical because they said we shouldn’t be worried how they are “prompting” the event , and they found their players “back round” behind the stadiums….. this was me making fun of their spelling…

    Just heard the games advertised on Radio Sport. Sounds like we are all go….

    Oh well best of luck to them, I hope they succeed, it will be good for the sport getting a lot of exposure as long as they do it properly.
    I just wish they didn’t lie about what teams were coming. USA and Canada are NOT coming, the teams that are coming will be two invitational teams, if they just publicly admitted that I would be a lot happier….
