Pavel Datsyuk Promotional Night!

     As I’m sure we all know, many different professional sports teams like to use what they call promotional nights to boost ticket sales and overall interest in a game. Our Detroit Red Wings are no different and have an exciting one coming up that I want to share with you.

    On March 4th the Red Wings will be honoring one of the greatest Red Wings players of all time with a Pavel Datsyuk stick case giveaway sponsored by Coca-Cola Zero. This exclusive item will only be available to the first 7,500 fans in attendance. 

    I have always thought these promotional nights were so much fun. When you go to one of these themed nights or promotional events in person you can feel the energy throughout the arena. This does wonders for both the team's performance and the overall enjoyment of the fans in attendance. This can be especially important on a night like the 4th where we are taking on a great team in the Carolina Hurricanes. 

    Furthermore, I think the Red Wings made a great choice in choosing to honor Pavel Datsyuk with this new stick case giveaway. Pavel is a legendary figure to the Detroit Red Wings and the fans. He was part of 2 Stanley Cup-winning teams in both 2002 and 2008, won multiple Lady Byng and Frank J Selke awards, and was voted one of the top 100 NHL players of all time. 

    Overall, I think March 4th will be a night to remember and I hope everyone can get there early enough to get their promotional Pavel Datsyuk stick case!

Red Wings Classroom Reading Challenge

 Red Wings Reading Challenge

Welcome back, everyone! As you can see this post is not simply a game review but something that is way more important. As an organization, the Detroit Red Wings have always made it their mission to be more than just a hockey team to the Detroit community and the rest of Michigan. 

Recently, the Wings sent one of their young and rising stars Marco Kasper to participate in a very important community challenge. This challenge is called the Red Wings for Reading Program. This program runs throughout the season and is a no-cost literacy program for kids K-5 here in Michigan where the top performing program at the end of the season will win a $2,500 library upgrade for their school.

On the 27th of January this past month, Kasper made a stop at New Paradigm Glazer Academy in Detroit Michigan. While he was there, Kasper spent time reading with the classroom as wel as shopping for books with them when the reading was over. For any interested teachers in the Detroit area you are able to register and learn about this fun and enriching program using this link https://bit.ly/Wings-for-Reading. 

As Red Wings fans, I think we can all agree that things like this are what separates Detroit sports from everywhere else. Pictured below is Red Wings star Marco Kasper reading to the students at New Paradigm.
