Players from the Vítkovice hockey team will go for a beer with their fans

„The meeting with fans over beer, which we have been doing as part of the Radegast Supports Moravian Hockey concept, was very positively received last year, and we hope that the same will be true for this year. The fans can find out a lot of interesting information, which they wouldn’t usually be able to get,“ says Radegast Brand Manager Pavel Kmínek of the main advantage of this meeting.

Besides the actual conversation with real men in blue-and-white jerseys, fans will compete for interesting prizes from Radegast and from the HC VÍTKOVICE STEEL hockey club. Every fan will get a puck as a souvenir, which the players can sign directly at the venue. Players will also try out what it is like to be bartenders. They will serve properly poured beers to their fans, who will sit at their tables. One can win an opportunity to be at a table with the players in a competition, which can be found at www.radegast.cz/hokej.

„I  would like to invite all our fans. I haven’t been in Vítkovice for very long, and I would love to get to know fans, who help us get ahead and give us energy to score more during our games at home,“ one of the main contributors of the success of Vítkovice in the season, Roman Málek, says to entice fans.
