Hockey is not a traditional sport in North Carolina so, for many people here, going to a game is about making a memory. The goal is that people will come back. The Fayetteville Marksmen are in the business of making memories, not only during the plays on the ice, but also other moments, like entertainment during intermission. To keep things interesting, the team has thematic games. For example, the February 8th game is “Operation SELLOUT” at which all available seats are only $10, regardless of where they are located. “It is such a popular event that the tickets sell out fast,” says Erik Konwinski, the team’s Business Development and Broadcast Coordinator. February 20th is “School Day,” during which kids from across the state can watch a game with a 10 A.M. puck drop.”
