What can you say about an event that meets and exceeds all expectations:

  • “The feedback about the event was absolutely off the charts positive”
  • “I was truly proud to be a parent and have my son involved in a game that I am sure he will tell his kids about someday.  Excellent job”
  • “The event itself was a spectacle. And the hockey game wasn’t too bad either”
  • “Fabulous event, smart marketing. Kudos for the coverage and great buzz it created in town” are just a few comments about the day. 

A hockey game was scheduled and an event broke out.

It all came together – Clark Park, the weather, the alumni, the organizers, the volunteers, the on-site vendors and the sponsors.  All of the event's objectives were met: Everyone connected with the day had a fabulous time.  The tradition and excellence that is Michigan high school hockey was on display.  Both schools and Clark Park gained tremendous media exposure, up to the national level. The entire day was a success!
