Everyone wants to help Britney Spears. You could feel the pain of every former and current fan of the pop princess when she shaved her head this past weekend. Since splitting from her husband Kevin Federline, the former superstar has gone through more media scrutiny than when she was with him. The stress of the divorce and having children had seemed to got the best of her. Spears checked into rehab this past weekend to escape the constant paparazzi and buzz that follows her on a constant basis. Now someone else is offering Spears another option.
A hockey team of the American Hockey League wants to help Britney Spears. The Syracuse Crunch have offered Spears a quiet weekend getaway in upper New York. Front office members of the Crunch would like to extend the troubled pop singer and all expenses paid trip to the snowy city of Syracuse. It would provide Spears the opportunity to escape the constant heckling of the Hollywood paparazzi and offer her a great weekend away, highlighted with a solid hockey night of entertainment.
"The team and community want to provide Britney Spears with a stress-free environment and the chance to experience a high level of hockey," said Crunch president Howard Dolgon to SI.com (a popular sporting site). "In addition to being 3,000 miles away from Hollywood , Syracuse is light years away from that pretentious environment. There won't be paparazzi within a 100 miles."
This is an attempt by the Syracuse Crunch to draw some attention to their hockey team. American League Hockey teams usually go to great lengths to provide special events that will draw new customers to the sport of hockey. They like to think that once you see a game of hockey, you will become hooked. If Spears accepts the offer to come, or even does not, the Crunch will be holding several events. The Crunch will be offering free admission to any woman that comes to their February 24th game with a shaved head. If Spears does decide to take the offer, each member of the club's front office promises to shave their heads as a sign of appreciation.
