Think we could all get a sponser as the news coverage would be world wide every country would post it on their news so we should get good milage
keithThe problem though, is that I doubt CNN is about to send their own cameras out there, I’m guessing they’d be reliant on TVNZ or TV3 footage being onsold to them. But they probably wouldn’t agree to screen it until after they’d seen the footage I’d guess, so you wouldn’t know before hand who was or wasn’t going to cover it, and ipso facto neither would the sponsors.
I suspect the only advertising it would create is to outline that we do indeed play hockey in this part of the world, and that some of us are crazy enough to try it on an ice berg.
Ok The guy above knows something I have not told you yet but he is on the right track and it is big
KeithThere is a very good change we will get sponsered by one of new zealand’s largest companies, but I can not confirm this untill it is signed up.
There are guys in Australia who will be here in 24 hours to go but the idea is Dunedin guys go as it is my idea but if I can not get locals do not worry some Australians will come.(also three Americans want to too.)
It is the publicity that it will create as this has never been done before and world wide attention should happen.
Remember this may or may not happen I can not order up an ice berg, and a lot of saftey stuff has to be done, how ever, it is still an adventure and has a risk. As for the people who are not sure don’t come it is your choice
I am going if I can pull it off and five others as the chopper fit 8 people.
and we are taking a winch man and pilot too.
KeithThanks guys
We have one team at three a side that is the call as the helicopter only fits 6 players.
Do you think I should get the THREE Aussies to be the rest of the other team,
Phil is living over there as an Australian and is interested too. then it may make bigger news in Australia and their big companies might be in on the sponsership too?
KeithI am intouch with Fontrea and Eion Egger knows of the plan
I am not sure if they are coming in on this but seems very interested.
TV new Zealand will be there for sure IF AND WHEN

Yeap that can happen.(Ryan’s u tube above)
But after talking with several people including John Perrin the guy with shriek he was on for half an hour the worst thing is the banging and thumder noises.
as the ice moves about, same as Manoburn dam on a good day it makes heeps of cracking noises too. It is scary but heeps of people have been on it. it is a game of chance if it rolls over but one thing if it does you won’t need your skates again.
