Puckguy14 Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 Guys, I acquired the money to do something I only dreamed of. I have a chance to be a San Jose Shark. For $1000, US currency, I can do the following:> Game day practice at HP Pavilion at SJ (aka the Shark Tank)> Lunch with Sharks broadcasters> Hockey game at the Shark Tank, complete with skating through that imfamous Shark head, teammates would include former Sharks (players confirmed already are Gary Suter, David Maley, with more to come)>Fully catered luxury suite for the players at that night's Sharks-Stars game.>Personalized authentic Sharks game jersey, including practice and game gear (players supply equipment)It is set for March 28, and I have to decide soon to do it or not. What do you suggest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JQK Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 If i had the money, and it was the Devils, i would do it. So if i was you, i'd do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saintsfan Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 You gotta do it man, just think of the memories you will get from it! $1,000 won't seem so much money one day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanB06 Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 Are you nuts?!? Go for it! At the bare minimum you get the personalized authentic jersey, and it's something you can tell your grandkids when you're old and grey! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discrim Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 i don't have $1G, but if i did, and it was the Cubs i'd go for it. So do it! We order you! ::edit: hey, who voted no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee. Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 Do it, show off some fancy skating moves, then parlay those moves into a trade to the Blackhawks. God knows they couldn't do any worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEAD! Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 Is it tax deductable? Seriously, if you feel that you won't be using the money for other things then go ahead. I'd pay $1000 US just for the luxury suite! :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puckguy14 Posted December 29, 2003 Author Share Posted December 29, 2003 I'm not sure if it's tax deductable. It might be since portions of it go to the Sharks Foundation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yh Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 Take it from a guy who's missed a few golden opportunities in his lifetime - as you get older you'll regret missing the chance to have had this experience far more than you will ever miss the $1,000.00.

Puckguy14 Posted December 29, 2003 Author Share Posted December 29, 2003 Quad, no worries. It does make me think now, if it would be a tax deduction because of a donation to a foundation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STL FANATIC Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 If you acquired the money to do this, then by all means do it...if you happened to just barely scramble up enough, then well do it still, lol...but of course if you need it for something else, don't...but I think I'd do it...

CC97 Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 All the stuff you'd be getting would cost more than $1000, all the authentic game, and practice gear + the luxury suite.... add on the amazing memories that would come with it!I can't wait to see pics of Kuhre 14 on the back of a Sharks jersey on the Sharktank Ice. Now if it was the Jays, I wouldn't do it, but that's only because I do it every 3 months for free anyways :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CDunn Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 To quote Marty, the dad from Frasier, "When you get to be my age, it's not the times you made a fool of yourself that you regret, it's the times that you didn't even try."GO FOR IT! Coming home on a plane from Colorado, there was this thing they showed and part of it was about the Oilers fantasy camp in Phoenix. It was in Phoenix b/c of Gretzky. That one was for longer, 4 or 5 days I think, and a LOT more money, but it looked like so much fun. They played a tournament, got home and road personalized Gretzky era authentics, meet and greet with Oiler greats, etc. Awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zer0dotcom Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 Ask why you wouldn't...man, if I had that chance with the Canadiens, or perhaps even the Maple Things I'd jump all over it...go for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
