Right-on, Indian and O.Tool. The OPP has been in bed with the Express ever since the team came to town.
If the Express wants those crowds at every game, maybe it should offer those fun events at every game. Take a lesson from the St. Paul Saints: the team provides entertainment at EVERY game, not just the ones that "deserve" it.
Will it cost money? Sure, but will people show up?
My bet is yes. Maybe the OPP could be your sponsor!

Of course they are trying to promote the hockey team. Like they said, they're trying to make it a community-oriented team. What's wrong with getting the word out?

You can consider any article that involves a business as free advertising. Big deal.

Most FOR-PROFIT businesses take out ads. The OPP bends over backward to get the Express' "ads" in, typically under the guise of something else.
If you want to "promote" something, buy an ad. That's what the rest of the businesses do.

For the record: The Express are a 501c(3) NON-PROFIT organization.

Pay attention to the OPP. They have articles about different businesses through out the year. So what?

Typically, those business articles are about the businesses going above and beyond what their "business" is: donating money or goods; sponsoring fund-raisers, etc.
This is a story about a hockey team FINALLY doing something more of the community can enjoy. To that, I say: It's about time.
One story out of 100; not too bad.

Perhaps a better story about this "charitable organization" would be where the charity goes.
Do you know, loki8838?
