Date: Wednesday 5/6,  6:30 till …

Where: Hurley’s Bar on 48th between Broadway & 8th Ave

What: Caps vs. Pens @ 7PM,   Bruins vs. Canes @ 7:30PM

Who: EVERY and ANY HOCKEY FAN!   This is a non-denominational event for every fan of any team.  We’re bringing together the hockey world in New York City and want to see all the clubs represented.   We’ll have a private viewing area with multiple screens and a projection TV…

but wait, there’s more…..the bar is giving all hockey fans with our group drink specials all night:

$4 beers,  $4 mixed drinks

If we get a good crowd for this event we’ll be doing more and more of these at Hurley’s throughout this postseason and next year.  So come show your support for hockey in NYC and meet others who love the game as much as you do.

Oh, and we may have a celebrity guest amongst the crowd.  We can’t say who yet, but let’s just say that he’s not a stranger to the Stanley Cup Playoffs…

The event is being organized by HockeyBarn.com.   Follow us at @hockeybarn to get more updates.

P.S.  Special thanks to @NJHockeyMom for connecting us with Paul at Hurleys…and to Dani and Angela for all their help!

Last night we held the San Jose #NHLTweetup at Firehouse Grill where the crowd was friendly and in high spirits.  Thanks to everyone who came down to celebrate the season together. Despite nifty goals in the game later, by Clowe and Cheechoo we came up short on the scoreboard.  Good insights about 0-2 start from @Eklund on Hockey Buzz blog today http://bit.ly/iz0HY  

A big “Thank you” to the Firehouse Grill staff for playoff atmosphere and excellent service. You all are true die-hard Sharks fans.

The informal survey of the Tweetup crowd revealed these interesting ideas:

1.     Drew Remenda should have a Twitter account (even if someone helps him with ghost tweets). Jamie Baker got a lot of votes to start tweeting.
2.     Roenick and Shelley would be fun to follow on Twitter.  After a fight like this one with Parros last October http://tinyurl.com/dhggn8 am sure Jody’d have a lot to say.
3.     There was interest in having Doug Wilson and Mike Ricci on Twitter if they could share insights about the organization, NHL, talent in development, etc
4.     Current @SanJoseSharks Twitter account needs to be enhanced. Reads like same content available on website whereas it could be much more timely and engaging.
5.     Need official SJ Sharkie Twitter account. Could post which benefits attending or schools Sharkie is visiting. 

We will work this week to get this feedback to Sharks front office and broadcast partners.  As they say — feedback is the “breakfast of champions”.  We all want the Sharks to be Champions!

Here are the lucky winners of our fabulous prizes:
Signed Nabokov hat: @Twitterpatedme (Judy Pearce)
Signed Marleau puck: @Jawamo727 (James Morris)
Signed Roenick puck: @Avsluvr (Kate Seifried) – and though she loves Avs, she roots for SJ!
Bottle #1 “Sharks” wine: Kimberley Wall
Bottle #2 “Sharks” wine: @Twitterpatedme (Judy Pearce)
Subscription to NHL GameCenter Live: James Stebbins
Comcast goodie bags: Stacy, @yarnfiend, Annette, Jennifer, Kathy, @mmatmred, Tommy and Renee.

Thanks very much to the NHL, Comcast SportsNet and Bert George of Joseph George wines in San Jose (www.josephgeorge.com) for providing the fantastic goodies. By the way, please contact Bert if you want to acquire additional bottles of Sharks wine – he has them in his store on Meridian. He also has commemorative bottles from NHL All Star games etc.

@RomeoCH came in from Las Vegas to join the fun and posted this video to YouTube with a summary of atmosphere around Arena and at Firehouse Grill. www.tinyurl.com/sjsharkstwup

Let’s root hard for the guys Tuesday and Thursday while they play in Anaheim!! It’s a best of seven series and it felt like momentum was shifting. GO SHARKS!

New Sponsor:
Joseph George Winery will join Comcast SportsNet and the NHL as sponsors for this event. The winery is kindly providing limited edition Sharks wine to give away. No, not wine made of Sharks! But a label with San Jose Sharks etching and a lanyard with a collectible card. Joseph George Winery has been working with the NHL on official wines for league teams since the 1993-1994 season. This will be quite the prize. Big thanks to Kristin Pugh for securing this sponsor!

New Location:
We’ve moved the party to the Firehouse Grill at 69 N. San Pedro in downtown San Jose. We’re really grateful to the friendly and accommodating management staff for having us! Let’s do them proud and buy lots of drinks.

RSPVs Required:
We need to know how many folks are coming so we can give the nice folks at Firehouse a heads up. So now, the ONLY way to potentially win the autographed Marleau, Roenick and Nabby stuff from the NHL is to RSVP ahead of time. You can do this in one of two ways:

1. Twtvite
2. Facebook

We can’t wait to see you!

We originally planned on having the party for the first Sharks away game but we wanted to keep this as close to the other NHL satellite parties as possible. We think we’ll get a great turnout — and this way we can even include some folks who are grabbing some dinner prior to the game. Details:

• When: Sunday, April 19
• Time: 5:30 p.m. ’til after the game
• Where: Firehouse Grill, 69 N. San Pedro, San Jose
• Who: All hockey fans… Sharks fans are a bonus!

In addition to fun and camaraderie watching the game, we’ll have some very fun giveaways throughout the night. Our list of prizes keeps growing!

• Autographed hat from Evgeni Nabokov
• Autographed puck from Patrick Marleau
• Autographed puck from Jeremy Roenick
• Prize bag giveaways from co-sponsor Comcast SportsNet
• One annual subscription to NHL GameCenter Live!

Please let us know if you can make it by RSVPing at the TwitVite site or on the Facebook event. We’d love to see you. We even welcome any Anaheim Ducks fans and expect you would show up bravely in your Anaheim sweaters. We’ll be nice. We swear. Sort of.

Follow @mediaphyter and @sfmktmaven on Twitter for more details. Please use the hashtag #nhltweetup.

And, don’t forget, we’ll also be giving away commemorative pucks and some signed Sharks memorabilia from Evgeni Nabokov, Patrick Marleau and Jeremy Roenick!

We know not having a date yet is tough — and we organizers are as up in the air as you are. But we *promise* that once the playoff schedule is announced we’ll give you the date and location — and maybe details on more stuff!

Again, follow @mediaphyter and @sfmktmaven on Twitter for details. Please tag all questions with #nhltweetup. Also, you can follow Comcast SportsNet Bay Area at @CSNBAYAREA.

Let’s go Sharks!

A reason to hang in there? Ya know, other than camaraderie with your fellow San Jose hockey fans. We have some great giveaways courtesy of our friends at the NHL. In addition to some commemorative pucks and other stuff, we will have a few autographed items from your San Jose Sharks:

• Autographed hat from Evgeni Nabokov
• Autographed puck from Patrick Marleau
• Autographed puck from Jeremy Roenick

Stay tuned for how to win…

Thanks NHL!!
