Thread: I BLAME THE RADIO ANNOUNCER ( not the color guy though he is great )

    Default Im amazed by the lack of Class

    First of all I think John Keen stepped over the line. Does he know that the city isnt allowing some stuff from happening. Examples are, opening night lights had to be on since construction at the Iplex is still on going. As well they dont allow Cypress Motors to have Vehicles on the ice during the intermissions. Do you wonder why some of the colours arent Bronco colours in the I plex. A new red concession, would you have picked the colour which does not go with the broncos colours in the office. Not every thing is controllable. I wish people would use the heads before they speak and if they want to sugguest something go ahead speak it. But give your head a shake for some of those comments. Im sure their is more then I have listed but these are just some. Im sure someone will make a smart suggestion on how I have went off the deep end. But it was still very unprofessional of our radio annoucer to be posting this stuff. I wouldnt go on telling him what kind of a job hes doing.

    WOW Jon what a lack of class!!!!! Great team guy going and ripping into the Bronco organization. I personally know the marketing guy and think he is doing a great job and has great ideas. It is up to the PLAYERS and the FANS to make it an intimidating place to play, not the marketing guy. Jon your ego has taken over your brain, remember you are still working radio in Swift and doing WHL hockey. You are not in any position to make these comments.

    I totally agree that it's up to the players and fans to make it an intimidating place to play, but it's next to impossible for the fans to even get into the game because every stoppage of play there's a P.A. announcement about something that nobody really cares about. Let the fans cheer a big hit, or a good shift, or whatever is going on!! Play a little music, pound some keys on an organ, let Charlie beat his drum, anything but the PA annoucements, please!!!

    The atmosphere at the arena this year is pretty lame. I don't blame the marketing people or anyone else but it does appear people and business is loosing interest in the Broncos. Why i'm not sure. You look around and we are in a boom right now with lots of new businesses moving in yet they don't seem to want to put any money back in the community. It seems to be the local businesses supporting the team yet people in town flood to these new places and forget about the locals. Hence the locals sales drop and they don't have the money anymore to give back. You go to these big stores that are not local and try to get them to advertise or sponsor a game night. Always the same answer ( it has to be sent into head office for approval) then gets chucked into the garbage. The local businesses can only give so much to keep this team. The big out of town stores don't give a rip about the Broncos and suck all the money out of town with nothing in return. I wouldn't blame Jordan or Tracey. Trying to get money to help the Broncos out of all these new stores is like trying to get blood out of a rock, yet we flood to the new businesses. Remember it's still a locally owned business who sees the value of the Broncos in the community and the big chains don't give a rip what happens to the team.

    The vehicle thing is true. I hear they don't want to wreck the ice? (even though other buildings at all levels do it). Also there is a list a mile long of what the mascot cant do anymore (hence the reason he is a little more tame now). Just a few examples of stuff previous regimes didn't have to deal with.

    if you guys dont mind me interferring here, you know i have been a fan of this great league from day one when the winnipeg warriors moved to moose jaw. we have billeted players for numerous years at the beginning, been threw it all and seen it all in this league. but for all us and yes moose jaw is a small market team who has its own problems with a rink and fans, not only us but pa as well. the league has changed, its bigger, its grown into a huge monster if i can say that. this monster provides us with great entertainment for a reasonable value. but the problem lies in vancouver, calgary, edmonton, the american franchises and even regina. they out draw us ten fold, we will never as small market teams compete. the value of a frnachise has almost gone up 10 times since the ealry 80's , promotions are competed upon what goes on in bigger makets. guys we cant compete with the bigger markets end of story. im scared that in a few years we will see some teams moved or drop out of the dub, for this plain problem that the chl and the dub have raised their bar so high that anything less then 4 or 5 thousand fans a game is not acceptable. who do we blame then? swifty has atleast did something to prevent loseing their team, but in the end revno's the answer? maybe a new rink was the way to go? here in moose jaw we ask ourselves everyday but in the end corporate money isnt there, its all in regina and saskatoon and alberta. this is a great league and my worst fear is pa, moose jaw and swifty may have to join the sjhl just for the fact is we cannot compete doller for doller with the bigger markets. and some say the bigger markets have the upper hand on free agent ncaa drop outs? its somewhat proven right now . and you cant tell me for a kid to go to a bigger market doesnt get the perks compared to coming to swift or moose jaw or pa????
    i hope this makes some kind of sense, the league itself is great but as a fan im troubled some and worried and on the fight to keep our franchises but in the end its not our say , its the monster in alberta who runs this big league who does.

    heres attendence numbers, look at swift, pa and moose jaw we are the bottom three and look at calgary and vancouver... 10 yrs ago they couldnt even get 1,000 people out to their games, thus loseing the ice in edmonton, and vancouver has had teams too. but the astounding number is the league wide average and look how badly our three teams draw compared to the rest of the league... another note the teddy bear toss in calgary complete sell out for it, lethbridge had a 30 min delay to clean up teddy bears..

    This is kinda the point I was making. Thanks wardog. The league could care less about small market teams. Ask the marketing guys what the difference in league marketing dollars are between Swift and Calgary. We end up with like 2% of the Leauge Sponsors. Those ones want their money spent in the big markets. Its a bloody shame. Sidenote to Flathead about the PA announcements...the team sells those annoying announcements to the sponsors. They may seem annoying but the team needs them right now. The team needs all of us Right now.

    i agree totally. i love to hate any team in saskatchewan except moose jaw, i think i speak for everyone who cheers for a team in this league. its fun bus trips and crashing another teams barn and cheering on this great league. but this league has gotten so big now us bottom three teams are not going to survive. i mean i have heard here in moose jaw players declineing trades cause they didnt want to come to moose jaw or players wanting out cause of moose jaw when they can be closer to home or play for a better organization. what these players tend to forget this is the grass roots of hockey right here in saskatchewan this is it. the nhl and chl and money has gotten so out of control now its going to hurt major junior hockey to some extent and hurt us small market teams that much more. i couldnt imagine loseing our warrior team and to take a step further hear about swift or pa lose a team, if one team fall is a ripple effect, brandon will get hurt by it regina will as well. travel costs go up by the year in this league kids are out of school almost too much, promotions and season tickets go up. the dollers are just not there in small makets. i dont speak for every team but here everyone talks warrior hockey but no one goes to the games, they say the rink or this or that. but in the end its those people who do the talking and not showing up or supporting is hurting us the most.....

    Well said Wardog well said. I could not have said it better myself. The league should use a theme song from the WWE. Its from a while back...Ted Debiase THE MILLION DOLLAR MAN's song Money, money, money.
