Community and Environment

Player which becomes involved in the community could increase the perception of the franchise or the fan loyalty which leads to more spectators, higher revenues of merchandising, tv contracts and so on. Not all players are suitable for this purpose, have the appropriate mindsets or the personalities, not all GMs consider this equally important. Also this have a massive impact in some markets, in others this cannot do much, which could depend on the basic attitude of the market.

The organization of the financially participation (provision of player equipment, training facilities) on junior teams or tournaments slowly but also could sustainable broadens the fan basis over time; which depend of course also on the maximum market size. Franchise maybe could also initiate special hockey programs for the promotion of young people. All this could have positive effect in different areas but of course cost resources, not every owner or GM is there equally committed and not for every GM, franchise the reputation increases and so on. Good reputation has also effect on free agents liabilities, satisfaction of the players and staff with their environment. The satisfaction with the environment and the appeal of a city or region could be also depending on the geographic region. Some people loves snow in the winter, others prefers sunshine the whole year. Of course, such effects are rather subordinate at negotiations, but at comparable offers from two or more franchise can this make the difference. Maybe the GM must offer a little more than another GM to finalize the contract if the preferences of the player are not matching perfect with the city or region.
