Watch for #FieldDayFriday's on Vancouver Is Awesome, where I (@marketing_girl), explore someone else's workplace pad.
It's not your typical day at The Canucks' office located street level at Rogers Arena...
Walls chronicling the full history of the Canucks, from 1911's Millionaires to the heroes of today's game greet you when you enter the corporate offices: located on the "Zero" floor, entrance on Abbot Street at Gate 16. From there, I was instantly swept into the flurry of activity, doing my best to keep up with Social Media Manager, Nicole Van Zanten, and Website Manager, Emily Leung as they juggled the daily duties of managing the digital voice of the Canucks, while balancing what became a star studded day.
I wasn't the only special guest in the office today: Pavel Bure and Stan Smyl were in the building...
Across the hall from the locker rooms, at 11am this morning, the Sedin's announce they are re-signing with the team for four years.
Lining the office halls, photos like this one of the Sedin's and Luongo with their respective Olympic jerseys, capture moments in time.
Then, on the 1st floor, just up the stairs from the Canucks Team Store, local defenceman, #5 Jason Garrison, who grew up in Whiterock, hosts a fan signing. And Nucks fans as well as staffers were all abuzz. You could see they love the perks of their job today—getting vouchers for autographs and loading up with their 30% discount for team gear and swag. (If you're curious what I asked Garrison to write on his photo, it says "Hi Peter, Your Fiancé is Hot!")
And, as if this jam packed day couldn't get any fuller, Pavel Bure spends the day hosting a press conference, answering fan's #AskPavel Twitter questions on an exclusive live streaming YouTube interview, and making some special time for a photo op with the Nuckers staffers.
Bonus, while it's not the norm to host a #beeroclock, today was an exception to the rule, when beers and refreshments were enjoyed by everyone to end the day.
