#Rangerstown visits #Lionscountry

c4148e57-fc8c-4672-8d7e-e07b0510c328 On Wednesday afternoon, the MTA Sports Management club was honored to welcome Greg Kwizak, Vice President of Event Presentation for the New York Rangers Hockey Team. Mr. Kwizak captivated the students by discussing his own personal career path, which began at Disney, and explained much of what goes on behind-the-scenes at a professional hockey game. In his role with the Rangers, Mr. Kwizak oversees everything going on in the Madison Square Garden arena during each game, starting from when the staff begins running a/v testing some three hours prior to doors opening until long after the fans have exited. His team runs the contests, the scoreboard, the videos, etc. They will also put together special digital presentations that the hockey operations department will use to attempt to recuit new players over the off-season. Students were also fascinated to hear Mr. Kwizak's many stories and to watch the two video features he brought with him. It was an incredible learning experience, providing the students with a very unique insight into the production side of the sports business. Thank you to Shuey Jacoby for bringing Mr. Kwizak to MTA.
