Crescent Point Place 的新 LED 大屏幕肯定会让曲棍球迷惊叹不已，这要归功于与萨斯喀彻温省石油和天然气展的 80,000 多美元的合作伙伴关系

萨斯喀彻温省石油和天然气展的一些巧妙计划和大笔捐款使理查森先驱韦伯恩红翼队再次在SJHL中脱颖而出。他们新安装的LED巨型屏幕在周六晚上对阵约克顿的比赛中首次亮相。尽管在宣布项目完成之前还需要进行一些小的收尾工作，但Red Wings办公室和公关经理Nick Nielsen已经期待着它将改善比赛日体验的多种方式。

“屏幕的设置方式，我们将能够不时地将我们的得分时钟移动到屏幕上，我们将随时在那里进行比赛的现场直播，”他解释道。“我们还可以在那里播放视频，我们实际上在周末用一些不同的东西进行了一些测试，比如去年我们球员的精彩片段。它只是增加了一堆中场休息的机会，这些东西会改善气氛。

广告收入是团队的另一个重大机会，因为高度可定制的展示无疑会吸引会场内每一位顾客的注意力。然而，球迷们心中最大的问题是，我们是否会在下一场主场比赛中看到即时回放。尼尔森很快谈到了这一点，并表示这绝对是他们目标清单上的一个功能，尽管它可能需要一些时间来开发。

尼尔森说：“我们需要更多的设备来使其能够重播，这意味着我们可能需要另一个操作员，这意味着在某个时候有另一名志愿者来帮助运行它。“所以，我们一直在寻找更多的志愿者。如果你精通技术，我们很乐意拥有你，无论是运行屏幕还是运行相机或类似的东西，因为我们需要它来保持这个东西的运行。

尼尔森还感谢 “SJHL Weekly” 背后的人 IKS Media，他们协助安装了新显示器，并为团队设置了一些独特的图形和对员工的培训。他还邀请SJHL的粉丝下周初在Crescent Point Place停留，参加“SJHL Weekly”的特别现场直播，以进一步展示新显示器的功能。

“SJHL Weekly的人们实际上在1月22日在Crescent Point Place进行现场直播。所以，如果你想更好地看屏幕，看到杰罗米、罗里和杰米谈论一切SJHL，现场直播，周一来看我们，“尼尔森说。

不过，大显示屏的实用性并不止于SJHL曲棍球。任何计划使用Crescent Point Place空间的活动或组织也可以与Red Wings联系，讨论利用大屏幕进一步增加体验的选择。萨斯喀彻温省石油和天然气展主席丹·库格内特（Dan Cugnet）表示，这些可能性正是该组织在进行捐赠时所考虑的。

“当我们寻求投资社区时，我们的重点是始终让它成为有助于增强 [石油和天然气] 展会的东西，”他解释说。“我们认为这对 Wings 和 Crescent Point Place 来说会很棒，我们认为在节目开始时拥有这种能力对我们来说会很棒。因此，当他们向我们提出这个想法时，我们很快就接受了。

“相当快”可能有点低估了他们的热情。这个想法于 2023 年秋季由 Nick Nielsen 和 Jeff Chessall 首次在石油和天然气展上提出，在展会捐款超过 80,000 美元的情况下，屏幕能够从曼尼托巴省的一个竞技场运出，并在大约一个季度内重新安装在 Weyburn。有些人在看到一笔交易时就知道了一笔交易，而 Cugnet 认为这笔交易一定会给支持他们的社区带来红利。

“我们很高兴这样做，我认为这将为红翼队的未来创造很多价值，为石油展创造很多价值，为社区和新月角的地方创造很多价值，”他说。

Cugnet补充说，他已经期待着在6月4日举行的下一届石油展上亮相的精彩演讲者阵容，并尝试他们新改进的能力，以突出东南部的能源部门。

Some clever planning and a large donation from the Saskatchewan Oil and Gas Show has allowed for the Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings to once again set themselves apart in the SJHL. Their newly instalLED LED mega-screen saw its unofficial unveiling during Saturday night's game against Yorkton. Although some minor finishing touches are needed before calling the project complete, Red Wings Office and PR Manager Nick Nielsen is already looking forward to the many ways it will improve the game-day experience.

"The way the screen is set up, we're going to be able to move our score clock over to the screen from time to time, and we're going to have a live feed of the game up there at all times," he explained. "We can also play videos up there, and we actually tested that out a little bit over the weekend with a couple different things like highlights from our players last year. It just adds a bunch of intermission opportunities, things that will improve the atmosphere."

Advertising revenue is another major opportunity for the team, as the highly customizable display will undoubtedly draw the attention of every patron in the venue. However, the big question on fans' minds is if we'll be seeing instant replay footage at the next home game. Nielsen was quick to address that point and said that it's definitely a feature that's high on their list of goals, although it may take some time to develop.

"We need a little bit more equipment to make it replay capable, which means we'll likely need another operator, which means another volunteer at some point to help run that," said Nielsen. "So, we're always looking for more volunteers. If you're technologically savvy, we'd love to have you, whether it's for running the screen or running the camera or anything like that, because we will need it to keep this thing running."

Nielsen added his thanks to IKS Media, the people behind 'SJHL Weekly', for assisting with the installation of the new display and for setting up the team with some unique graphics and training for the staff. He also invited SJHL fans to stop in at Crescent Point Place early next week for a special live broadcast of 'SJHL Weekly' to further showcase the capabilities of the new display.

"The folks from SJHL Weekly are actually doing a live broadcast from here at Crescent Point Place on January 22nd. So, if you want to get a better look at the screen and see Jeromy, Rory and Jamie talk about everything SJHL, live as it happens, come on out to see us on Monday," Nielsen offered.

The utility of the large display does not stop with SJHL hockey, though. Any event or organization planning to use the space at Crescent Point Place can also approach the Red Wings to discuss the option of utilizing the big-screen to further add to the experience. Dan Cugnet, Chair of the Saskatchewan Oil and Gas Show, said that these possibilities are exactly what the organization had in mind when making their donation.

"When we're looking to invest in the community, the focus for us is to always have it be something that will help enhance the [Oil and Gas] Show as well," he explained. "We thought it'd be great for the Wings and Crescent Point Place, and we thought it'd be great for us to have that capability when the Show is on. So, when they approached us with the idea, we got on board pretty quick with it."

"Pretty quick" might be underselling their enthusiasm just a bit. The idea was first floated to the Oil and Gas Show by Nick Nielsen and Jeff Chessall in the Fall of 2023 and with the Show's contribution of more than $80,000, the screen was able to be transported from an arena in Manitoba and reinstalLED in Weyburn in roughly one Quarter. Some folks just know a good deal when they see one, and Cugnet believes that this deal is bound to pay dividends back into the community that supports them.

"We were happy to do it and I think it's going to create a lot of value for the Red Wings going forward, a lot of value for the for the Oil Show, and a lot of value for the for the community and for Crescent Point place," he said.

Cugnet added that he is already looking forward to the fantastic lineup of speakers set to make an appearance at the next Oil Show on June 4th, and to try out their newly improved ability to shine a spotlight on the Southeast's Energy Sector.
