Bartholomew Hunt Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Does anyone have a promo schedule for this year? I tried to find one online and I havent come across one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevsMan84 Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Here it is: http://devils.nhl.com/club/page.htm?id=100291 Even Hugh said it is a bit bare but that they will be adding more promo nights as they get closer to some games. This is still just a "confirmed" list and they plan to have more added for this year. Also note that 11/4 is Hockey Fights Cancer Night which is pretty much always also Mystery (Misery) Puck Night as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ak926 Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Where can I find a Devils pocket schedule ? I use to see a stack of them at my local convenience store on the counter. ( Free ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( Free ) Depends on which convenience store is the current sponsor of the Devils. Used to be Quik Chek but not sure now. If not the arena has a ton.

Chuck the Duck Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 I remember going to stick day as a kid back in the mid to late 1980's. They used to give out full sized street hockey sticks to kids 13 and under with printed autographs of the players on them. To me, that was always the best promo, much like bat day used to be at Yankee Stadium. Wish they would bring that one back for my children. I'm sure they will have ski cap night (always thought they were rather nice), hat day, and other traditional promos. Where can I find a Devils pocket schedule ? I use to see a stack of them at my local convenience store on the counter. ( Free ) I actually saw them at a Smashburger last week. They are a sponsor of the team now.

GoArmySports Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Can they please change Fan Appreciation night to the April 3rd game? It doesn't make sense having it when we play the Rangers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DevsMan84 Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 I'm surprised we don't have any bobblehead nights anymore. I think it has been at least 7 years since the last bobble head night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satans Hockey Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 I think it has been at least 7 years since the last bobble head night That sounds right. It's just doesn't make sense to me, I'm sure they could find a sponsor for it because bobblehead nights tend to draw bigger crowds. Seems like a no brainer, especially to just get more people in the building spending money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevsMan84 Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 (edited) That sounds right.

Seems like a no brainer, especially to just get more people in the building spending money. Apparently the Chico Night giveaway was supposed to be a Chico bobblehead. I heard many people say that the team told some STH's would be bobbleheads when Chico Night was first announced, but since the sponsor was not yet cemented they just listed it as a "special Chico giveaway." From what I hear they couldn't find a sponsor to shell out enough for these so basically they had MSG sponsor the pins they gave out as a sort of last-minute replacement.

Hopefully when he goes, they come back.... The last one given away was Dano, I believe sometime in 2004 Marty, Stevens and NJ Devil were all right around the same time, I believe 2003 They are hands down my favorite promo items, here are most of mine in my Devils cave: Apparently the Chico Night giveaway was supposed to be a Chico bobblehead.

DevsMan84 Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Yeah actually you are right it has been longer. I have all of them except NJ Devil and they were around 2003-2004. That 4-set of parise, elias, brodeur and langs was part of a set that was given away to STH and those who bought a special plan around 2009-2010 if I remember right. They had so many left over that they had them for sale at the Devils Den store at the arena for like $25. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satans Hockey Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 That's an awesome display case! Just seems silly not to have bobble head nights. It puts people in the seats and we can never have enough of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They gave the 4 pack away to people who bought one of their weekend or mini plans They gave a 4 pack with each bobble signed to full STH's that year (I got this one) They eventually dumped off the non signed extras in the Team Store That's an awesome display case! Just seems silly not to have bobble head nights. It puts people in the seats and we can never have enough of that. Thanks! It is ridiculous not to have them; it would certainly increase attendance for those mid-week games against less than desirable opponents. The best part about it is they can get a sponsor to foot the bill! Makes ZERO sense not to do them....hopefully they are brought back one day. I have been told this day will not come until Lou is out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The promos have sucked since we left CAA I am trying to think here; I think the best Pru Center promo has to be the Niedermayer Retirement Night Mini Banner....and the Marty 552 mini stick I can't even think of any other decent ones....

The cap giveaways have been pretty good. I remember the 2012 retro night was the cap giveaway too with those green and white retro-ish hats and they were pretty nice. Much better than the CAA days where I remember they used to give away crappy painters hats for "hat day" with a huge DevilDog logo on them (it seemed between 1993-2000 everything was sponsored by either SportsChannel/Fox Sports/MSG, The Wiz, DevilDog, Modells, Konica or Carvel). I remember I believe during the 2010-11 season they gave away one of those "As seen on TV" items to everyone during a game against Columbus I believe. They had a vote amongst the 5 items and the one that "won" was that interior car windshield cleaner thing. I say "won" because I don't believe that is what most people voted for as the other stuff was nicer (MagicJack, some sort of soda can topper, jeans button mover, etc). Mystery (Misery) Puck night is always fun and that's coming back tomorrow. Edited November 3, 2014 by DevsMan84 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't a knock at ownership but a knock at whoever is in charge of sponsorships and promotions. Look at basically every minor league team in hockey and baseball and they are always having some kind of giveaways because sponsors paid for them. I find it really hard to believe that it's that hard to find sponsors for giveaways for the Devils. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
