Cardiff Devils need cheerleaders!!!
- Thread starter Asselin'sstick
- Start date
Cheer leaders are a fact of life in US sport but to suggest they are part of the attraction and imply they are partially responsible for the vast crowds attracted to NHL and by extension, I guess, football and baseball etc. is stretching a point. I'm not sure the crowds at US soccer are increased to NHL/NFL levels by cheerleaders presence
Even if they are part of the attraction, in the US it is respected profession with college scholarships available thus leading to a high standard.
I am not a fan but equally have no objection
It could be good for the club though -if the interest of the pre-pubescent boys at Belfast is anything to go by ticket sales to this age group would soar

You do have a point!
Although I will admit the Belfast cheerleaders were young I did see a few lads cheering them on and clapping from the devils fans.
That's what put the thought into my head, attracting an influx of younger fans to keep the flow of fan generations going.

6 teams in the NFL DONT have cheerleaders. Green Bay Packers, Cleveland Browns, NY Giants, Buffalo Bills, Chicago Bears & Pittsburgh Steelers.
Its a NO from me.

"Cardiff Devils needs chearleaders doesn't it"
OMG - what a dreadful idea. This Club has class. With a cheerleading troupe it goes from tasteful to trash in one fell swoop. Apart from eye candy for any drooling oversexed male supporters, how can it possibly be classed as entertainment?
If the purpose of cheerleading is to engage the crowd atmosphere on a permanent basis, the fans do a pretty good job without any additional encouragement.
And once you've seen Cameron Hughes in action, any other fan interaction doesn't cut it!
Long ago, an ice dance troupe would put on a display of skills in the period break to entertain the crowd - a really nice idea. And would be refreshing to see our junior Devils executing their drills once in a while in period breaks too.
