Tip-A-King 2010

[CSSports]

Every Year, the Kings do a Charity Event called Tip-A-King.
There are many ways they raise money for this event....and its a great fan experience!

Events
1. General Admission
2. "Tip" for an auto and/or photo with a player
3. "Tip" for an experience along with an auto and/or photo with player
4. Auctions - WOW - They had EVERYTHING!!! From vacations to Jerseys (some team jerseys like Capitals, All-Star Games, Avs) to Very Limited Paintings of hockey players to Hall of Fame items and the list goes on....
5. Mystery Pucks - Buy a puck (all are signed) - if yours is gold, you win that players signed game used stick
6. Mystery Envelopes - Could have anything from vacations to signed memorabilia to future experiences like skating with a King for 30 minutes at their practice facility
7. Raffle Wheel - win smaller prizes like auto 8x10 player cards, stickers, keychains, Starbucks GC, and the top prize was 2 tickets to a future game


Experiences:
1. Face off with Jared Stoll - He does a 2 sec run down on how he does face-offs and then the fan does a couple face offs with him
2. Take a shot on Jonathan Quick - One of the best experiences for kids - they loved it!!!
3. Dress up as a Goalie with Erik Ersberg
4. Play bubble-boy Hockey with Alec Martinez and Brad Richardson
5. Sit in the Penalty Box with Jack Johnson and Raitis Ivanans
6. Take a Group Photo with the Ice Girls
7. Sit in the Zamboni with Davis Drewiske and Scott Parse
8. Tour the Lockerroom with Alexander Frolov, Sean O'Donnel & Michael Handzus
9. Broadcast with Bob Miller, Jim Fox, Nick Nickson and Darryl Evans
10. Play air hockey against Coach Terry Murray

For me, its a chance to talk to the players and get some Autos....I got everyone I needed and was very happy....

My end result

ENJOY!!!!!

If you want, I'll take one of the Segal, Quick, or Scuds pucks since you have 2 of em all. Not Martinez though. He's GARBAGE.

[MasonRaymond0320]

Would love to tour the dressing room with those three players. How much was each experience?

[CSSports]

It was
$45 for the Admission
$5 for 1 Auto/Photo or 2 Autos
$10 for any player who had an "experience" to do the activity then 1 Auto/Photo or 2 Autos
$50 for Mystery items
$??? for auctions - I think as low as $100 and as high as a few thousand $$$

Keep in mind it was all for Charity

Hmmm _ yeah...Let me think about that one - I would gladly exchange them for a nice Ice Script! :) .....

and for Martinez...He was the ONLY one who didnt care what we said...I wanted the auto across the top of the logo (so maybe we can actually SEE the auto) and he just scribbled across the logo....

Mustve raised a lot 4 charityBet it was a great turn out?

[CSSports]

Yeah - Season Seat holders have a "Meet the Players" day where we get to spend 3 hours taking to players and getting autos...THAT is a crazy day...but since this event means you pay...less people go....but It was a pretty good turn out....

Does Deadmarsh go to the Avs events? If so, LMK - I will send a couple pucks your way to get Auto'd.....He is a big part missing in my collection (even though he was a King for a short time, he is one of my Favs - Have a #28 Jersey I wear to games)
