Announcing #NHLtweetup – Pittsburgh, Pens vs NYI
After a blissfully short off-season, thanks to winning the Stanley Cup, it’s time to get ready for the new season.
And what better way to do that than with an #NHLtweetup?!
So here’s the details:
When: Saturday, Oct 3, Pens vs Islanders (and the debut of #1 draft pick Jonathan Taveres)
Puck drops at 7pm so get there early.
Where: The Fox & the Hound
Sponsors:
I am once again very proud to announce that some great companies and organizations have decided to sponsor the #NHLTweetup – Pittsburgh.
The Pittsburgh Penguins are once again an official sponsor of the NHLTweetup – Pittsburgh. As is the NHL, the Hockey Hall of Fame, Versus, HockeyT-Shirt.net, YinzCam and our newest sponsor, BladeTape!
So make sure you come out and let’s cheer the Pens on as they defend Lord Stanley’s Cup!
UPDATE:
Not that you need any more reason to come out and cheer on the defending Stanley Cup Champions, but our great sponsors have been kind enough to send us some great items to give away. And in an effort to build your anticipation just a little more, I will reveal a couple each day, building up to Saturday.
From the Hockey Hall of Fame: A pair of passes to the Hockey Hall of Fame. (We gave away a couple of pairs of passes at a previous NHLTweetUp and the winners traveled to Toronto over the Summer and said they had a GREAT time!)
Our good friends over at Hockeytshirt.net have generously donated 2 of their best selling shirts. “Ovechkin – Russian for Douchebag” and “Sid’s Dating Service – Helping Players Score Since 2005″And if that isn’t enough to make up your mind to come, how about this:
Returning sponsor Versus has generously donated: 2 white hockey t-shirts, 3 black Nike Dri-Fit women’s polos, 1 black Reebok hockey jersey that has the Versus logo on it, and 5, yes I said 5 red 1GB iPod shuffles!
UPDATE: We just received an exclusive discount for NHL GameCenter Live (courtesy the NHL) for one lucky winner! Ask anyone who as used GCL, it is awesome!
Special thanks go out to new sponsor BladeTape. They have very generously sent us some of their Penguins-themed bladetape to award some very lucky attendees!
Now, how can you not come! This is going to be, to use twitter-speak, EPIC!! You will not want to be the one sitting at home reading the tweets, wishing you had come. So make sure you RSVP so we save you a seat!
