Minor Hockey Talks - Hockey Forum

Sold-out Christmas game for the Petes, themed jerseys, and a visit from Santa. Is this peak junior hockey festive overload, or does it perfectly capture the spirit of the season? Where do you draw the line between a fun game night experience and over-the-top commercialization in minor hockey? I predict this type of themed event will become even more common in the OHL and trickle down to minor hockey levels. Will this enhance the fan experience or detract from the game itself? Share your thoughts on balancing the festive fun with the focus on hockey development. With the proceeds going to a good cause, does it justify the potential distractions? Is this a model other teams should follow? What are some alternative fundraising ideas youve seen in your minor hockey associations?
