Reputation Management Online

The 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver that concluded on a bright note at the Whistler ski complex also stands out for some  unsavory,   boozing related  incidents of the Canadian Ice Hockey team that spoiled the spirit of Olympics. Drunken brawls,  the yelling and screaming at the spectator stands, the dressing rooms and the hotels where the teams were put up, makes Vancouver Olympics a game of drinking as well!

The Ice hockey team of the host country Canada, which defeated USA 2-0 grabbed the headlines and  a few raised eyebrows  when they chose to toast  their victory with beer and cigars in public! The Vancouver games and its overwhelming drunken theme has been the topic of discussion on and off the field not just in the press boxes, but also among the spectators and the ice hockey sports fans, who were clearly let down by the teams’ dismal performance off the ground after a spectacular win on  the ground.

“Sean Gregory, a writer for Time magazine, writes that the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver may be worthy of a gold medal in a particularly undistinguished category: drinking”

The city of Vancouver has always been famous for its well kept streets and an efficient public transit system but from now on, this city and its sports teams will be known for a few wrong reasons as well. The search engines might  spew the alcohol related incidents of the ice hockey team first, before  flashing the impressive score card of the team.

In the coming days, everybody will be interested to know what the Canadian ice hockey team does to remove  the  damage caused to its repute. The team managers need to put their heads together to come up with a  robust reputation management package that will hopefully  pull out the team from the blues caused by the  drunkenness issue of the ice hockey team .
