P.E.I. Rocket News Release
The PEI Rocket Hockey Club is very proud to announce the launch of a new and improved website. In the recent survey from the Rocket Launchers Online Panel, surveys suggested that fans use the Rocket website as one of the most important ways of accessing information. Due to its importance, the organization wanted to re-design the website to be more fan friendly and to make sure that it was a place that people would want to visit on a regular basis.
"The new site has a more streamlined design and we wanted fans to have a place to go to find anything that they wanted to know about the PEI Rocket. With the help of Scott MacLean with Universum Media, we have worked very hard on some video initiatives and these are will all be online shortly", said GM, Kent Hudson.
The new site features a very esthetically pleasing design. Highlights of the site include:
- "This is my Civic Centre" rotating promo videos - every time you visit the PEI Rocket website, you will be greeted by a new video of one of the Rocket Players in their creative "This is my Civic Centre" videos.
- Next Game Videos - For every upcoming home game, we will have a message from a Rocket player promoting each upcoming game and any important special events associated with each game.
- Last Game Video Highlights - complete with audio from Corey Arsenault, each game will features highlights that will be shown on the website shortly after each home game.
In the very near future, additional video components will be added that will include:
- Player Profile Videos - designed to allow fans to get to know the players. These are 2-3 minute vignettes of each of our players that are currently shown at home games between periods.
- Introduction Videos - each player has a very brief intro video highlighting their name, number, position and hometown.
We want the website to be a place where our fans can be kept up to date on anything that is happening with the PEI Rocket. Although many new additions have been added to the site, the old favorites are still there as well, including.
- Launchpad E-Newsletter signup
- Player Appearance Program request form
- News Section
- Information on all of the Rocket players
- And much more...
"We want people to know that the website is a key place to find any information regarding the PEI Rocket. We will continue to ensure that the website is a key component of everything we do and how we operate. In particular, we will continue to spend considerable time and energy on our "Launchpad" e-newsletter. Each week, you will be kept up to date with stories about the Rocket" said the Rocket GM.
The re-designed site will go live on Wednesday, January 28th at 7:00 am and was co-designed by SunnyWeb (owned by former Montreal Rocket player, Benoit Beausoleil), and Island based Revolution Media. Both companies worked in partnership with PEI Rocket management in the process of re-designing the site.
Fans are also reminded that the Rocket travel to Saint John to face the Seadogs on Wednesday at 7:00 PM. The broadcast will be available on the web free of charge compliments of Telus. The Rocket then travel to Bathurst to face the Titan on Friday at 7:00 PM.
