Getting Involved: How You Can Support the Players

For a local sports team to succeed, there must be an enthusiastic collaboration between players and fans. If the players are unmotivated, their team will not succeed. At the same time, the fans also must invest in the future of the team to provide that necessary motivation and to give the players another reason to play to the best of their ability, honing their skills as they gain more experience. In this article, I'll offer a few ways that you, our fans, can enter into the life of the Casper Warbirds, helping them as they push forward to constant improvement and success. 

Show Up 

The first and most obvious way that you can get involved and support our team is by simply showing up. Our players do what they do both because they love the game and because they care about entertaining their fans. By coming consistently to games and keeping up with the Casper Warbirds, you can become a real part of the community and encourage the players to continue to excel. 

It's been said that building personal connections between fans and players can significantly inform the perspective of the players. They come to realize that their performance and hard work can have a positive impact on the lives of fans, even simply by providing them with consistent entertainment. By showing up to games and events, players can establish some of these personal connections, creating lasting memories for both fans and players alike. 

Just showing up to games might not seem like a lot, but it is the single most important way that you can support the team. A team is nothing without its fans, and your presence goes a long way towards motivating our players and cultivating an exciting and fun environment for fellow fans. So come out and support the team, and bring that enthusiasm with you! 

Buy Merch 

Everyone likes to express themselves with their clothes and other accessories. At the Casper Warbirds, we are continuing to create new merchandise designs that will delight fans and provide a way for them to showcase their love for their favorite hockey team! You can find the link to our merch store here—we would be grateful if you would take a look at our offerings and consider purchasing some awesome Warbirds merch today! When you purchase Casper Warbirds merch from a player's merch profile, you are also providing the players with some financial compensation, since each player receives 10% of our merchandise profits. This is important to our players as they give their all during each segment of the season, from training to playing well-fought games.

Follow Us and Spread the Word

If you’re looking to follow the Warbirds throughout the season, the best place that you can go is our social media pages. You can follow us on Facebook, X, TikTok, and Instagram for frequent updates from the Warbirds.

We also frequently posts videos with footage from games and messages from our Governor, Alternate Governor, and Head Coach. Aside from simply following our games, social media is the best way that you can participate in the Casper Warbirds community. 

If you want to help the Warbirds cause, one of the best things that you can do is spread the word about what our team is doing in Casper, WY. Share our social media pages on your preferred platform and help to expand our tightly-knit community.

Keep Going! 

One of my biggest joys as Governor of the Casper Warbirds has been to see the way that the community of Casper has rallied around the Warbirds to help to set them up for success. We have already started to cultivate a warm, friendly, and energetic community that we hope will grow deep roots. So the best thing that you can do is this: keep going! Keep being the community that we have come to know and love and our player’s future as the Warbirds will become more and more their reality.
