This Friday will be a fun day for PIHA-Gateway and will be a great start to a weekend that has three sets of games. At noon on Friday at All American, St. Louis Magazine will be dropping in to do a photo shoot for their next issue that includes an article on PIHA-Gateway. Whaler JP Beilsten and Sniper Phil Maroon will be part of the shoot as well. Later in the afternoon (and this is tentative), sportscaster Frank Cusumano may be stopping in to do some interviews and some filming. If you are a PIHA-Gateway PRO player and are interested on being on TV, let me know!
Today's theme at the PIHA Gateway offices: Phone Calls. I'm so excited to type right now because that means I'm NOT making a phone call. Today calls were made to over 40 St. Louis-based companies that are interested in learning about our league. I got to talk to a myriad of assistants, presidents of major companies, and voicemail systems. I sent each of these businesses a letter last week. Persistence (not annoyance) is key when you want to get something done. Example: Sending a letter via snail mail, three days later calling, followed by a follow-up and email. We could have some new sponsors right around the corner that are as excited about our league as we are!
Other news and notes:
-Email pihagateway@gmail.com to be added to our newsletter mailing list for some great e-stuff!
-The Philly Growl never cease to amaze me with creativity. They have found a way to show a pre-game video that is similar to the one that the Blues come out to (video clips, player close ups, graphics, music). How did they do it? They hang a banner that comes down from the rafters at the rink and then they project the video onto it. All for 1/1000000000000000 the cost of a jumbo tron. Those kinds of creative ideas will be brought the Gateway City in no time! Great job Growl (your six years leg up experience is a great learning tool for everyone).
