MEDIA ADVISORY: Toronto Maple Leafs and Sport Chek to host Outdoor Practice


 

WHAT:              The Toronto Maple Leafs and Sport Chek will host celebration of hockey that will surprise a local minor league hockey team with the chance to live like a pro.  Minor bantam AA team, Ted Reeve Thunder was randomly selected from the Sport Chek Team Assist program and will learn from past and present Leafs about what it takes to be a professional hockey player.

 

                        The day will start at the newly-renovated Greenwood Park outdoor rink with Ted Reeve Thunder players participating in the Train like a Pro session with Leafs legend Wendel Clark.  They will then have the opportunity to watch and learn from select members of the current Toronto Maple Leaf roster as they host an outdoor practice.

 

                        Greenwood Park is a recent recipient of the $300,000 investment from the MLSE Foundation.  Last year, the City of Toronto with support of the MLSE Foundation completed a renovation that saw significant upgrades to the change rooms, pad, rinkboards and refrigeration system.  A skate trail and roof were added making it Toronto’s first covered rink.

 

Leafs alumni and former Olympians, Curtis Joseph and Shayne Corson will also be on hand to sign autographs and meet with spectators.

The study pulls out data for media versus creative agencies as well as over-performing agencies, that is those that self-reported a greater than 10% year-over-year growth over the past three years (the report refers to non over-performing agencies as “the rest”). New agency revenue streams were seen as a top trend for agencies overall (at 28%) but came in dead last for brands, with only 3% of respondents saying it was something that would influence an agency’s future.

Automotive sales will account for $1.75 billion in radio ad spending this year, according to BIA/Kelsey. Estimates from Kelly Blue Book and Edmunds call for monthly new vehicle sales for July to reach 1.47 million units, and an annual adjusted rate of 17.1 million. For July, the eight major manufacturers are expected to show year-to-year gains. Analysts credit a healthier economy and demand for trucks, SUVs and luxury vehicles with fueling the positive gains . Indeed, as the overall economy has improved and unemployment drops, observers say consumers have started to make big-ticket purchases again, including new vehicles. Particularly in an off-election...
