Jon Stromberg's THG Worldwide Gives Corporate Fans Up-Close Experience at NHL All-Star Game by Jon Stromberg

THG Worldwide, the largest corporate hospitality businesses in the world, provided a premier hospitality event during NHL's biggest night

The 2009 NHL All-Star game held on Jan 25 in Montreal, Canada not only provided corporate clients with an exciting game that ended with the East beating the West in a 12-11 shootout victory but also included the added bonus of being part of a top-quality corporate hospitality event, courtesy THG Worldwide, a Marcus Evans company and one of the largest corporate hospitality businesses in the world.

Held at the official NHL hotel The Loews Hotel Vogue, the corporate hospitality event kicked off before the game with a seated 4-Course Gourmet Dinner where corporate clients enjoyed a champagne reception and listened to retired National Hockey League left winger Benoit Brunet share his NHL experiences. Upon leaving, each person received a complementary memento bag with an official NHL All-Star hat, an official NHL All-Star Puck & an event program, and many reported running into several former and current NHL stars in the lobby or bar area, including former New York Rangers star Mark Messier and NHL Great Guy Lafluer.

After dinner, clients were invited to either walk the two blocks to the hockey venue, The Bell Center, or hop aboard a 50-passenger bus. Most chose to brave the -10 degree weather and soak up the ambiance of downtown Montreal. Once there, the approximately 50 clients had seats together to watch the action. Many of those in attendance were avid hockey fans and having an up-close and personal seat to watch the best the NHL had to offer was an exciting experience. One client commented that many of the guys sported "East" or "West" jerseys and bonded together as the tight game unfolded.

Following the game, THG Worldwide hosted another one of their signature hospitably events back at the hotel, which many of the guests attended. As the evening winded down, many clients commented on the event's level of organization and entertaining atmosphere. "I am a big hockey fan," one client commented, "So this was a great experience and I appreciate the attention to derail and how smoothly everything went."
