To parody a song by the Gear Daddies.. "I Wanna Drive the 'Fanboni!"
The Storm are joining forces with the Edmonton Oilers for a special icebreaker event this Saturday.
The 53 foot big-rig will include a complete road hockey setup, merchandise and promotional material. Even the very popular "Fanboni" (pictured above), which is a zamboni converted to provide rides and photo opportunities, is coming along for the trip.
"Fans across Oil Country are gearing up for the start of the 2010-11 season and what better way for the Oilers to join that momentum then take part in Grande Prairie’s festivities this weekend," said Oilers President and CEO Patrick LaForge in a news release. "Northern Alberta has a rich diversity of hockey programs that span all levels and ages, this weekend will be about celebrating the game of hockey from grassroots to the pros."
The Storm will also use the event to launch some special activities planned for their 15th season in the AJHL. Some of those activities to be featured are the Canadian Tire Storm Kids Club, the Storm Booster Club, and incentive packages and giveaways for season ticket purchasers.
Should be a lot of fun. Hope to see a lot of you there. (Now I just have to figure out who I need to talk to about possibly taking the Fanboni for a lap or two around the ice of the Canada Games Arena.)
