MCR was proud to be a part of the 2009 NHL Alumni Charity Banquet hosted at Toronto’s Marriott Airport hotel. The event was part of the first ever NHL Alumni Week and counted more than 70 NHL legends of all ages were in attendance.

“Mr. Hockey”™ earns “Man of the Year”

The event honoured “Mr. Hockey”™ himself, Gordie Howe, who was presented with the NHL Alumni Association’s “Man of the Year” award. Mr. Howe received the award for his community work and ongoing involvement with a number of charitable causes. The dinner raised more than $50,000 for the “Hockey’s Greatest Family Fund” which assists former hockey players who are in need.

“7^th Man Award” goes to Scotty Morrison

Scotty Morrison also received the Keith McCreary “7^th Man Award” for all his contributions to hockey over the years. Earle Connor, a Paralympic gold medal winner, was the recipient of the “Ace Bailey Award of Courage.”

On the mike was Dave Schultz who entertained the crowd by recanting tales form his childhood, when he used to watch, in awe, “Mr Hockey”™ on the ice.

Plasmas, LCD Projectors and AV equipment provided by MCR Rental Solutions

MCR provided all of the technical equipment for the celebration, outfitting the room with plasma screens, speakers and stands, wireless mics, an LCD projector and a 9 x 11 ft. projector screen.

Seat Selection Kiosks were in action

Touch Screen kiosk rentals were set up to make seat selection that much easier and MCR’s technicians were onsite to make sure the event ran as smoothly as possible.

Highlights from the night will be available in webcast format on the company website.

Kiosks are a great way for customers, consumers and trade show-goers to get interactive when they stroll by your booth.

Individual kiosks fit in at any venue, from an internet café to trade shows to major conventions. Say you want to create a way for your client to take a digital tour of your company or product. What better way to do it than set them up at an individual touch screen kiosk?

It allows the consumer to check out whatever they’re interested in. Plus who doesn’t love to press a few buttons? The consumer can browse at their own pace while you keep someone on deck to answer any questions that might come up.

Renting kiosks is as easy as renting any other computer equipment – 24/7 service is there when you need it, and delivery destinations are here, there, everywhere.

And, each kiosk is configured to the specifications you require, so that your interaction with the consumer is everything you – and they – want it to be.
