Oklahoma City Knows How To Bring In Hockey Fans

We know Oklahoma City is planning on bringing in the Sonics here pretty soon, so it's worth taking a look at how life might be for a Oklahoma City Sonics, or whatever the heck they might be called. Perhaps the example of the minor-league hockey Oklahoma City Blazers will be illustrative.

This Friday, they're having a charity drive at the Blazers' game. They're giving away a goat.

American Farmers and Ranchers Mutual Insurance announces their sponsorship of FFA Night at the Blazers Hockey game Friday night, January 18th at the Ford Center in downtown Oklahoma City. The event will enable the statewide youth organization, FFA, to raise funds for the Oklahoma FFA Foundation, which will keep five dollars of every $10 ticket sold by members. In addition, all FFA members attending the game will have an opportunity to win one of four animals to be given away at the end of the evening's game: an Express Ranch heifer, valued at $2,500, a lamb, a goat and a pig. "Our farm organization has been sponsoring youth activities since before statehood, and we're especially proud to sponsor this event for our Oklahoma FFA chapters," said Ray L. Wulf, President and CEO of American Farmers and Ranchers Mutual Insurance Company, Oklahoma City. "These youngsters will also get a chance to win some pretty good animals at the end of the game, so it should be a lot of fun. We appreciate Coach Sauter and the Oklahoma City Blazers for their support of our agricultural leaders of tomorrow," he said.

Honestly, it's gonna be pretty hilarious watching some little kid lead a goat off the ice. That's worth the price of admission right there.
