WATCH: SVG GameDay, Episode 13 — Scott Fausneaucht
The NHL’s Anaheim Ducks ended a seven-year playoff drought by clinching a spot in this year’s postseason, and tonight, the squad has a chance of advancing to the second round in front of their fans in Game 6 against the Edmonton Oilers. Bringing the juice during this playoff tilt, as well as the franchise’s full regular-season home schedule at the Honda Center, is Manager of Game Presentation Scott Fausneaucht. In his position, he’s tasked with blending the club’s deep commitment to high-quality entertainment and understanding what works in what situations throughout the course of a game.
On the latest episode of SVG GameDay, Fausneaucht details how he provides touch points for both longtime fans and newcomers to the arena, how production elements are impacted by the visiting team on any particular night, how entertainment throughout the season is fueled by the team’s success on the ice, how workflows like on-ice projection have breathed new life into their run of shows, how his experience with teams on the East Coast like the Washington Capitals and Washington Commanders gave him new perspective on his West Coast-heavy shows, how returning home to work for his childhood team gives him an advantage to understanding what fans truly want, and much more.
