NHL Captains & Alternates Primer/Refresher

All teams per the NHL Rule book (Rule 6, pg 7-8) must list either One (1) Captain and Two (2) Alternate Captains or Three (3) Alternate Captains during the game line-up submissions*. There may only be Three (3) Alternates if the Captain is not in uniform or if there is no designated Captain. No Coach, Manager or Goaltenders are allowed to act as a Captain or Alternate; Goaltenders are not allowed to act as captains due to (un)intentional delay of game as per the "Durnan Rule". They must wear either a "C" or "A" about three inches (3") high and of a contrasting color in a visible spot on the front of their jerseys. Only the Captain [ or any one (1) Alternate, if the Captain is not on the ice] is allowed, if invited by a referee, to discuss interpretations of the rules**. They may not leave the bench to protest or hinder any officials in light of a call on the ice, and are subject to being given a penalty (Abuse of Officials: unsportsmanlike conduct).

Notes:

(*) Some teams have named more than the regulation two (2) or three (3) alternates and are required to rotate the designation between players. The method of choosing who gets the designation when is left to team digression.

(**) Complaints about penalties are not considered 'a discussion pertaining to the interpretations of the rules', and any skater making such complaints are subject to a minor penalty in response.

[devilsupdates]

Remember all of these are from Twitter

Brenden Dillon is wearing the ‘A’ on his jersey in the absence of Ondrej Palat today for #NJDevils 

With Ondrej Palat out today for #NJDevils , Kurtis MacDermid will draw into the lineup.

Paul Cotter moves up in the lineup to Palat’s spot. MacDermid takes Cotter’s spot with Lazar and Bastian.

#NJDevils  starters versus Buffalo in Prague:

→ Tatar-Hischier-Mercer

→Siegenthaler-Kovacevic

→ Allen

Brenden Dillon just laid out JJ Peterka with an open-ice hit.

Alex Tuch goes right after Dillon. The two drop the gloves and Dillon sends Tuch to the ice.

Dillon is being called for a major penalty, which is now being reviewed.

Peterka was down on the ice for a while and helped off by teammates.

Nico Hischier and Rasmus Dahlin are both standing by the refs waiting for an answer.

Dillon ends up getting two and five.

Buffalo's Tuch get five for fighting.

Two minute power play for Buffalo.

Dillon gets the two minutes for interference. Five for fighting.

Timo Meier is hooked/tripped trying to keep the puck in play and #NJDevils  will go to their first power play.

Dawson Mercer takes Ondrej Palat's spot on the #NJDevils  second PP unit.

Casey, Mercer, Tatar, Haula and Noesen.

Great hustle -- sprinting to your spot? -- for Timo Meier to negate a Buffalo breakaway. He cut off all the angles and the Sabre (someone fill me in here -- I missed who it was) had zero options and didn't get a shot off.

A little heat brewing between Dougie Hamilton and Peyton Krebs. The refs step in.

First 20 in the books.

#NJDevils  and Sabres are still looking for goals.

Shots 12-5, NJ

Sabres had a much better first period than they did last night against the #NJDevils . That was to be expected.

But the Devils were able to keep the Sabres mainly shooting from the perimeter. BUF had some extended time in the NJ zone, but NJ kept them to just 5 shots all period.

JJ Peterka is out the remainder of the game, the Sabres announce.

Second period underway!

Early power play for #NJDevils  to start the second period

Huge shot block by #NJDevils  Brenden Dillon who limps off the ice in pain. He's staying on the bench right now, powering through.

1-0 Sabres. Crashing the crease

A third #NJDevils  power play of the game coming up.

Thompson off for goaltender interference

IMO they should put in Markstrom

SEAMUS CASEYS FIRST CAREER GOAL!! #NJDEVILS  TIE THE GAME!

Erik Haula and Stef Noesen assist on Seamus Casey's first NHL goal.

Devon Levi has been the difference so far otherwise it could be much more lopsided. Seems like #NJDevils     have been testing him low. May be time to test the glove and blocker

Pretty incredible. I've been dreaming of that since I was a kid." - Seamus Casey to the crowd here in Prague

Not to get too far ahead, but how can Seamus Casey come out of the lineup when Brett Pesce is ready!?

SOG: 28-11 NJD

He scored 6 goals with the #NJDevils  on a PTO this preseason.

SOG: 28-11 NJ

PP: 0/2 BUF - 1/4 NJ

Hits: 15-8 BUF

FO: 21-12 NJ (63.6%)

Blocks: 13-9 NJ

the Labanc to #CBJ     rumors are accurate its difficult to fault Fitzgerald. #CBJ     has cap space it has to use to get to the floor, plus with the injury to Vorkunov, they have a need for forward depth that #NJDevils     don't currently have

Third period underway

Can confirm in addition to @mark_scheig that Kevin Labanc has signed with CBJ.

2-1 #NJDEVILS !!! PAUL COTTER FROM JACK HUGHES!

It’s Timo time!!! 3-1 #NJDevils ! !!

These assists today as as nice as the goals that one just now by Jesper Bratt!

#NJDevils     are using Cotter on 4th line in place of MacDermid to kill out the game. Rotated Tatar to play with Noesen and Haula. Also have paired Hamilton with Siegenthaler and Kovacevic with Dillon

Anaheim Ducks - Anthony Stolarz Arizona Coyotes - Shea Weber (LOL) Boston Bruins - Jeremy Swayman Buffalo Sabres - Alex Tuch Calgary Flames - Blake Coleman Carolina Hurricanes - Andrei Svechnikov Chicago Blackhawks - Taylor Raddysh Colorado Avalance - Gabe Landeskog ( I know he was on IR but he's the only one from that team I can tolerate rn ) Columbus Blue Jackets - Elvis Merzlikins Dallas Stars - Jake Oettinger Detroit Red Wings - Andrew Copp Edmonton Oilers - Leon Draisaitl Florida Panthers - Matthew Tkachuk LA Kings - Alex Iaffalo Minnesota Wild - Brandon Duhaime Montreal Canadiens - Josh Anderson Nashville Predators - Roman Josi New Jersey Devils - Brendan Smith New York Islanders - Matt Martin New York Rangers - Chris Kreider Ottawa Senators - Alex DeBrincat Philadelphia Flyers - Brendan Lemieux Pittsburgh Penguins - Brian Dumoulin San Jose Sharks - Evgeny Svechnikov Seattle Kraken - Vince Dunn St. Louis Blues - Jakub Vrana Tampa Bay Lightning - Ross Colton Toronto Maple Leafs - Ryan O'Reilly Vancouver Canuks - Anthony Beavillier Vegas Golden Knights - Reilly Smith ( this one took me a while, really had to stare at their roster ) Washington Capitals - Tom Wilson Winnipeg Jets - Adam Lowry

The Power Play of Brand Sponsorship in Cricket

Cricket is not a game; it represents a cultural identity, provokes passion, and evokes loyalty in millions. This very special bond between the game and its followers makes cricket a land of promise for brand sponsorship-driving at once visibility and substantial sales growth. When brands tap into cricket, they are associated with an emotional underpinning that has the power to drive choices in buying decision-making and long-term brand equity.

One of the ultimate aims of any marketing strategy is to drive sales, and brand sponsorship in cricket has a pretty good history regarding this aim. Take the beverage industry, for instance. Brands that sponsor major cricket tournaments or teams often see a direct increase in sales. Simple logic here: if there is a match going on, he will reach out more for a drink associated with his favourite team. What is emotionally bonded in those high-energy moments translates into purchase behaviour when fans encounter that brand outside the stadium.

When a brand becomes attached to a cricket team or any event, it is more than exposure; it is part of the story. This now allows the brand to borrow some of that loyalty the fans have toward their teams and bond them with the brand in a way that truly impacts consumer behaviour. It no longer will be a logo but will form part of the experience of cricket that fans hold very close to their hearts.

One of the most potent but undervalued assets to sponsor a cricket property is brand induction onto team uniforms. A logo on a cricket jersey does more than just make a mark-it stands for partnership in the enterprise being carried out and, in so doing, stands for support of the same. This subtle form of branding imprints a deep, lasting impression on the minds of prospects by hammering the brand deep into their subconscious through several repetitions during highly charged emotional moments.

This brand strategy goes as far as how well these logos are integrated into uniforms. There are those, like Purple Tuche Brand Solutions, that focus on coming up with designs that raise the visibility of the brand without necessarily outshining the identity of the team. They make sure this logo becomes part of the uniform naturally so that it's much easier for fans to associate the brand with the success of the team.

Moreover, the quality of the uniform itself is a critical factor in the impression of the brand. The better the quality of the uniform, the more chances it has to enhance the image of the team and make a good impression about the brands on its uniform. This brings into the picture companies like Parallel Plaids that specialise in premium quality uniform manufacturing. By providing quality uniforms that perform exemplary on the field, they are assured that their logo will always be aligned with quality and excellence.

Quite often, cricket sponsorship drives huge sales. For example, when a major snack brand sponsors a cricket team for some marquee tournament series, that brand association would quite easily help the brand associate with the energy of the game and make a much more resounding presence among those people who follow cricket: mainly youths. By aligning the brand as the snack of choice for cricket lovers, the brand assimilates with the sentimental value that fans attach to the sport and can potentially gain a massive boost in sales.

For example, in the case of the sponsorship by a sports apparel company for one of the world's leading cricket teams, matching its brand with the youthful and dynamic image of the team would go a long way toward capturing young consumers for whom style and performance are paramount in sportswear. This could prove to be a godsend to sales during the cricket season and help the brand wrest an upper hand in the highly competitive sports apparel industry. A brand can partner with a leading cricket team, helping to build its appeal and drive sales, much as often happens when there is strong fan-based loyalty at play-a core constituent of cricket culture.

These are great stories about just how important the stakeholder's choice of team or event to be sponsored will turn out to be. It is about the need for the brand's identity to fit that of the team. When got right, such synergy can prove effective in driving sales to a rabid degree and yielding lyre customers.

Brand sponsorship in cricket, therefore, assumes still greater importance in countries where cricket is more than a game of sport, where it forms an integral part of their culture. The fans of such regions often identify with their favourite teams and players as part of themselves; hence, through the sponsoring of these teams, brands come closer to this deep-seated sense of loyalty. The result is a marketing strategy that does not simply reach consumers but turns them on at a personal level.

Fan engagement is always at its peak during major cricket tournaments or seasons. This becomes a golden opportunity for brands to reach out to millions of highly engaged consumers and create a long-lasting impact beyond the cricket season. The key lies in maintaining the presence as authentic and integrated within the experience of cricket rather than commercial.

The influence of cricket sponsorship is not confined to the cricket ground. In today's digital era, social media resonates with this reach, making it possible for brands to engage with fans worldwide. Hashtags, viral moments, fan interactions-everything has a role in extending the life of sponsorship beyond the duration of a match or tournament.

This digital extension is important for securing long-term sales growth. Brands that can effectively leverage social media to continue the conversation with fans after the match has ended have a clear advantage. They will create content that reverberates with the emotions that fans experienced during the game, keeping them top of minds when it comes time for consumers to make a purchase.

The strategies for brand sponsorship will continue to evolve in the face of change in the game. New formats, like T20, and the popularity of the women's game are new ways of reaching different audiences. Next, with the advancement of data analytics, brands will be able to know exactly the impact their sponsorships have and thus target their marketing more effectively.

Nonetheless, the very basics of cricket sponsorship will remain the same: it is all about connection, emotion, and belonging to something much greater than a brand. It is for aligning with the passion and excitement that cricket gives, and these benefits in terms of sales and customer loyalty will be seen continuing by brands.

In other words, cricket brand sponsorship is not just about a marketing strategy; it's a partnership that really can fire up big sales and sustainable brand equities when done right. That subtly puts across the brand logos in team uniforms and carefully chooses the right partners to bring those uniforms alive to be seen, remembered, and importantly loved by cricket enthusiasts.
