YOU MAKE THE CALL !!!
Alright, time for a little fun. Here's a scenario and I would like for you to tell me what you would expect to happen:A professional hockey team decides to visit a SC for lunch on a Sat. afternoon. The club is medium contact and is split into two areas, topless on the first floor and all nude on the second. About 20 dancers are on shift that afternoon and the club is fairly quiet - only about a dozen other customers spread out on the first and second floor. The team takes up a banquet style table on the second floor. They are seated in an area normally used for bachelor parties, but in by no means really separated from the rest of the club.
How do think the dancers reacted to the hockey team?
What would you expect the team's experience to be like?
If you were just a regular customer who happened to be there that day, what would you expect your experience to be like?
Got something to say?

My first remark would be “was Todd Bertuzzi present ?”, but that wouldn’t be of particularly good taste… :-)
Not sure the pros athletes are really liked by the dancers. I was in a club in Tampa last year, just a few hours after the Bucs had finished playing the Cowboys, and when I talked to the dancers and said “Have you been able to hook up with a player ?”, they had that “Give me a break” kind of reaction…
About 4 weeks ago and NHL stopped by a club I visit on a fairly regular basis. As I mentioned it was a fairly quite Sat. afternoon with about 12 normal customers and about 15-20 dancers on shift. The team was sitting upstairs, about 16 young wealthy guys.
How many dancers went over to sit with them? ... TWO!!!
I was sitting downstairs at the time, when one of the dancers I know mentioned that they were in the house. Since most of the dancers were kind of down that day over the small crowd and little money, I figured the team would be getting a bunch of attention. NOPE.
The top dancers all prefered to hang out and chat with the other customers (some were regulars, but not all of them).
One dancer explained how in many cases, the dancers avoid groups such as bachelor parties and the like. Partly because the club allows medium contact, the dancers get intimidated by the idea of being trapped in the middle of a group of guys. She then explained how the hockey team would be even worse than your average group of guys. Yes, they had money, but not likely to be spending a lot of it, or else they would likely expect extras. There was also an amusing comment made about how most of the team was from Canada and, "you know what they do up there."
At one point I walked by the team along with one of the dancers. Several players called out for her to come over and sit down and told her how she would be perfect for so and so. She just smiled politely at the group and kept walking.
I left that day thinking I witnessed something I wouldn't have expected. Yet, after it was explained from a dancer's perspective how it made perfect sense.
