We’re hosting the first-ever Icebreaker Welcome Reception, a formal welcome reception for tournament participants and their guests on Thursday evening, June 6, 2024. 6 PM – 10 PM at the Astra Hotel Seattle Seattle’s South Lake Union, we could use a tremendous amount of support for load-in, setup, guest management, strike and load out throughout the evening.

Check-in Desk Attendant (Thursday): This volunteer will check-in tournament participants and their guests, issue appropriate wrist bands. Available to answer general Icebreaker Welcome Reception questions as well.

Lobby Coordinator (Thursday): These volunteers will be staged throughout the hotel to usher guests to the venue spaces on the 2nd floor.

Assist in the placement & setup of the check-in desk for participants; distribute jersey/socks & Swag Bags to participants; ensure every participant has completed pre-tournament check-in online or via physical forms; answer any questions; assist in tear down and stowage on Friday & Saturday evenings; other duties as assigned/capable.

Assist in placement of printed materials and media assets throughout the Iceplex; assist in placement and transport of physical materials and sponsor product as needed; assist in ensuring locker rooms are available and/or cleared out.

Roam around the Iceplex and capture photo/video content and post to your social media channels (Facebook, Instagram and/or Twitter) and tag #SEAPrideClassic24 for Seattle Pride Hockey Association and others (participants, guests/spectators, sponsors/supporters, etc.) to re-share. (Your social media will need to be in a public setting; private profiles are not compatible).

Work with Seattle Pride Hockey Association officers and Tournament Director to make sure teams and captains are on-schedule, participating in nominations/voting and other tasks are reminded and completed. Includes nominations for All Stars of Pride, Player of Pride, applicable schedule updates, locker room assignments/navigation, team standings, communicating injuries or missing player issues to Seattle Pride Hockey Association.

Secondary tournament manager staff working with Tournament Director to ensure timing, scripts, and other tournament pieces happen on time; ability to problem solve and understand event managing required. Regular data and score into tournament database for players to access.

If you are a professional or aspiring photographer and wish to capture footage and share it with tournament participants by way of a watermark on your photographs, we welcome any and all artists to photograph at their leisure throughout the weekend. The tournament is on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Please reference the Schedule for times.

If you operate a photography business and have a logo, we’re happy to display and promote your logo on our supporters canvas and display it on our website.

WE LOVE B ROLL! Even if you are just learning how to capture video footage, come put your skills to work at the Seattle Pride Classic 2024. Point and shoot your video camera of participants hoisting the championship trophy; or spectators dancing in the stands. Whatever the case may we, there is never enough B roll. All content captured will be provided with credits, if used. You are invited to shoot footage at your leisure throughout the tournament weekend. The tournament is on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Please reference the Schedule for times.

We have a lot of participants who stay at our host hotel. It’s important for a Seattle Pride Classic representative to be present and ensure participants have no issues getting to or from the venue. The hotel desk attendant would be responsible for ensuring all participants successfully check into their rooms, receive a copy of the welcome letter as well as a copy of the shuttle schedule.

In addition, you would oversee the nightly hotel guest reception hosted at the hotel.

At the conclusion of each game throughout the weekend, we need support with inputting all the score & stats data into our main stats & standings website. This person would be seated back of house and scoresheets would funnel to this role for input throughout the day.

While it is our sincerest desire for everyone to have a safe and healthy weekend, you never know when an accident can strike. We’re looking for trained & certified volunteer medics / EMT to provide aid if an event arises. Throughout the course of play, if no events are happening, this is a great event to mix and socialize with the local and national hockey community, including current and/or former National Hockey League pros and other special guests.
