“My son did the Zamboni ride at the Capitals game recently that I booked thru VX exclusive offers. I expected it to just be a Zamboni ride, but it was so much more - being right next to players during pre-warmups (jogging/stretching/etc.), my son getting fist bumps from them as they went by, and then watching warm-ups right at the glass. My son will never forget it.”
“I’m neither a tycoon nor an inventor, but publicity is a powerful bargaining chip, so the good people who run the Checkers agreed to let me ride the Zamboni during the first intermission in a contest against the Pensacola Ice Pilots. [...] Nothing that dramatic happened while I was riding the Zamboni.”
