Goon Hockey is dedicated to the growing the game of ice hockey. Although Goon does play its own style of hockey, it is that very fact that enables Goon to grow the game!
From a fan perspective, the reality is, there are people who will never attend a hockey game of any level. Reasons given for not attending include common refrains such as: “I don’t understand the game” - “I can’t follow it” - “The clock stops all the time…and I don’t know why”, “I don’t like the cold…”, and on and on.
From a prospective player or prospective hockey parent, many of the aforementioned questions are addressed; aside from the elephant in the room – money.
Ice Hockey can be expensive to play and running a club? Forget about it!
HOW CAN GOON HOCKEY HELP GROW THE GAME?
Fundraiser:
Whether you are the administrator of a youth hockey association, the coach of an ACHA club team, or own and operate an independent team, you know that cash flow can make you or break you. Good news! Goon can help you fundraise to keep your team or association solvent for the long run!
How?
In some situations, Goon Hockey administrators provide the script, lights, licenses, emcee, wrangler (ref), props, uniforms, and more (everything needed to make hockey, Goon Hockey)!
YOU provide the players and ice. Goon coaches arrive the day before the event and coach up the players and the game is run the following day. Attendance proceeds and concessions are divided between the team or association and Goon Hockey. Please contact Goon directly for details. cjohnston@jmlegal.com
In other situations, Goon Hockey can travel its entire roster and field two Goon teams. This scenario is ideal for larger institutions such as D1 -3 hockey programs and the NHL.
How does Goon playing with the NHL or PWHL or IIHF help grow the game?
Great question! Going back to the point noted above, a certain segment of people will never attend a traditional hockey game. However, a segment of that segment would likely attend a somewhat “non-traditional” family friendly sporting event like Goon Hockey. Goon believes that getting even ONE kid into a rink, who otherwise wouldn’t have, is a win! Does that kid become a fan? A player? A coach? No one will ever know unless that kid finds his way to the rink.
Okay…but how does the NHL or PWHL or IIHF fit in?
For those of you who have been fortunate enough to attend an NHL All-Star game, you know that the host cities pull out the stops and its hockey, hockey, and more hockey and for which Goon is a natural fit! Those in attendance are no doubt serious fans, however, many of the events are televised and, again, we hope to catch the eye of a viewer and turn them to fans! Similarly, there are long suffering hockey spouses who just might find a bit of fun in Goon Hockey that they don’t get from “real hockey” – another chance to make a fan (and save a marriage?)!
The NHL Winter Classic is another opportunity for the NHL to partner with Goon Hockey to expose even more people to the greatest sport in the world!
Goon Hockey is committed to growing the game of hockey anywhere we are given the opportunity. Every goon player is a top-notch player who truly wants every subsequent generation to have the chance to play the game that Goon boys and girls love.
