Comments for Pucks and PR http://meisty.wordpress.com The practice of public relations in professional hockey Wed, 14 May 2008 18:38:58 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 Comment on Cliff Fletcher – leaf blower or garden rake? by Bruce Hockey http://meisty.wordpress.com/2008/01/24/cliff-fletcher-leaf-blower-or-garden-rake/#comment-41 Bruce Hockey Wed, 14 May 2008 18:38:58 +0000 http://meisty.wordpress.com/2008/01/24/cliff-fletcher-leaf-blower-or-garden-rake/#comment-41 I don't get it. Leafs management has always been a joke. The problem is on top. The top now goes and fires all the middle managers when the source of the problem is themselves. It's the structure. They are only interested in operating a successful (profitable) company. Winning has no bearing as long as the seats stay full. Any sports franchise will only win if the owner is driven to win. A committee will never have the same passion for winning as a single driven man. Sorry Toronto fans but it will be more of the same. More mediocore teams for a long time to come.

Like Sarah suggests, keeping up the moral of the fan base is difficult when teams aren't doing so well. It is hard for me to comment on hockey, but if I associate it with a topic I am more familiar with - it would be like promoting a winery that has had a bad vintage. Your PR techniques have to be more creative to keep the public interested. Public Relations is really put to the test with athletic teams.
