The city of Regina has officially taken the NHL Tweetup to a whole new level of awesomeness!

Along with our superb hosts from the Press Box Sports Bar, we have leveraged the NHL Twitter experience into a hockey event for the ages!

Main Stream Media Love

Our friends from The Wolf Radio have been plugging the event almost non-stop for close to a week and the event was also featured in last Thursday’s edition of the Regina Leader Post!

On top of that, the voice of the Saskatchewan Roughriders (CFL Football) Rod Pedersen will be on hand at the event to help facilitate the proceedings.

The Press Box has generously offered up the facility for hosting the event and along with providing the necessary space, they are providing $0.25 chicken wings and Tequila specials all night long!

Other sponsors that have jumped on board with prizes are Molson, Gold’s Gym, Versus, Blade Tape, NHLDigest.com and Howard Shapiro with his Hockey Player for Life book.

Here is just a sampling of the prizes:

• Winter Classic 2009 Programs
• NHL on Versus Hats
• Blade Tape
• Goalie Blade Tape
• NHL Team Branded Blade Tape
• Versus ‘Puck’ Ice Cube Trays
• Edmonton Oilers hat
• Gold’s Gym Memberships

Of course the generous folks at the National Hockey League have provided gift bags containing an official thePORTAL puck, a coupon for 20% off from the NHL Shop and a fridge magnet reminder for the Fenway Park 2010 Winter Classic!

In addition, the grand prizes to be awarded by the NHL are:

• One year subscription to NHL Game Center Live
• Ryan Getzlaf autographed Hat (See Photo)
• Ryan Getzlaf autographed jersey (See photo)

I will be hosting the Regina, Saskatchewan NHL Tweetup on April 15, 2009!

The Regina Tweetup will be held at the Press Box Sports Bar located at 909 Albert Street N.

I figured that there is no better place in Regina to hgold a hockey function, just take a look at the awesome collection of Hockey Memorabilia!

I’m currently waiting to see what kind of attendance we should be expecting in order to negotiate some food and drink specials etc.  So, if you are planning on being in Regina on April 15th, be sure to contact me and let me know! www.twitter.com/nhldigest
