Why does it matter?

Teams and media can leverage the moment with prospect storytelling, development profiles, and highlight packages to engage both local fans and prospect-focused audiences.

Audience Psychology

Local fans feel excitement and optimism about a new prospect; neutral hockey fans are curious about talent development stories and future impact.
