NEW YORK — In what has likely been their best signing in over two decades, the New York Islanders announced A-1 First Class – Viking Moving and Storage, Inc. as the team’s official moving company.
A-1 First Class president Matthew Schwartzberg said his Long Island organization was proud to be the Islanders’ latest corporate partner, “Well, the Mets, Jets, Knicks and Giants said no, but, hey, everyone likes hockey right?” adding, “Do the Islanders still have that Bossy guy?”
The new sponsorship includes a promotion available to season ticket holders who receive a one-time move out of Long Island, free of charge. Islanders GM Garth Snow wanted extend the promotional offer to some of his players as well,
“We’d like to remind Schremp that if he doesn’t start playing some defense, A-1 will ship him outta here — just like Tambellini.”
A-1 is also offering fans a seat-upgrade promotion called “Movin’ on Up” where lucky fans in the upper bowls of Nassau Coliseum will be invited to take their pick from the more expensive and frequently available seats below.
In addition, a “Spotted on the Move” truck-sight contest will give fans the opportunity to win Islanders tickets by spotting Rick Dipietro riding shotgun on selected A-1 First Class vehicles. “Garth says I have to start earning my paycheck, so I’m working my way up from here,” commented Dipietro.
And in an effort to give back to the Long Island community, A-1 will be welcoming new Long Island residents with special packages which include a New York travel guide, an autographed poster of Zenon Kenopka, and free Islanders playoff tickets.
With the New York Islanders and A-1 partnership solidified, Schwartzberg expressed his excitement for the future,
