Fan Involvement

For the last one of my selections, I’m going to go with fan involvement, giving some lucky fans a chance to take part in a surge. It gives the Carolina Hurricanes an opportunity to run a contest in which you enter for a chance to take part.

The winner of this competition will have two weeks to think up what kind of surge they would like to be a part of. They can either choose to repeat an older surge (I would always pick to be Thor…) or come up with their own idea. Their own idea would obviously have to be run by the team, just to check it was appropriate.

The storm surges worked wonders with engaging the fans throughout the season. This takes it to the next step by getting them involved. Imagine being on the ice with all your favourite stars, you’ll become fan hero.
