Photos with your sponsored player at the end of the game
If you wish to have a photo with your own and loan player, sponsored kit player or junior sponsored player, please make your way into the seating area of block F (behind the Bees’ player bench) AFTER the lap of appreciation by the players. Please note, you must walk around the rink via the main lobby side of the rink to block F and NOT via the walkway behind the goal at the changing room side of the rink. This area is extremely busy immediately following a game with player activity so access will not be permitted. At this point we will invite people up in player number order to get their photos taken.
Getting jerseys and kit signed
Please note, due to the number of presentations you can not have items signed at the time of getting your photo and must wait away from the changing room areas to get any autographs from players as they are leaving the rink. All 3 jerseys will be unwashed prior to this collection period as all will in use over the course of the weekend. All uncollected jerseys will be washed prior to any further collection opportunities.
We expect this to be a busy presentation event and ask that you please follow the instructions given above and those of the volunteers coordinating this on the night. This will allow us to get through the presentations as quickly as possible to avoid long waiting times.
The club would also like to thank the BSC who have offered to change their usual match night services and for their willingness to set up collection points and presentation areas during the game to allow all presentations to take place on the night – THANK YOU!
