For game-presentation, promotions and dance team staff planning a Hockey Fights Cancer night: our LED pom poms switch the dance team to lavender by remote, so the stand stage lights up when the bowl goes dark, and back to team colours after. Team pricing is $120 a pair on 10 or more pairs.

What do clubs do on a Hockey Fights Cancer night?

How do you build the lavender moment?

  1. Pick the moment: the puck drop, an intermission feature or a TV timeout.
  2. Bowl lights down, rinkboards and ribbon boards in lavender.
  3. Fans raise their “I Fight For” signs.
  4. The dance team on the stand stage switches poms to lavender on the cue.
  5. The video board shows patients and survivors.

Where does the dance team perform?

Pro hockey dance teams perform on the ice during stoppages and from stages in the stands during play; the Florida Panthers’ team uses a stage in Section 109 (source: Florida Panthers Dance Team). A stand stage is where light-up poms do the most work: the bowl around it is darker than the ice, so lavender poms read from across the arena. See hockey cheer and dance teams for the full set-up.

Which giveaways work on a lavender night?

  • Lavender light-up face stickers, handed out at the doors and lit for the moment.
  • Custom ribbon or club-shaped stickers (1,000-unit minimum, quoted), with the presenting sponsor on the night.
  • Pro examples: the Sabres’ scarf, the Blues’ theme-ticket items and the Kings’ Hockey Fights Cancer ticket packs (sources: Buffalo Sabres, St. Louis Blues theme tickets, LA Kings).

Custom LED face stickers in your school’s shape and colours start at a 1,000-unit order and are quoted. A University of Texas alumni VIP suite ordered 1,000 from us; see custom LED face stickers in bulk.

How do minor-league and college teams run it?

The same format scales down: a lavender puck drop, a 50/50, a jersey auction and one lit moment. In smaller rinks the bowl gets darker when the house lights drop, which makes a lit dance team and a lit student section stand out even more. A local hospital is the natural presenting partner.

How many poms does a hockey dance team need?

At our team rate of $120 a pair on 10 or more pairs:

Group Pairs Cost at the team rate
