Vulcanium representative Liliana Vlk is a die-hard Chicago Blackhawks fan. She’s been following the team for years, and became a Chicago Blackhawks Fan Ambassador last spring.
As a Fan Ambassador, she is active on Twitter for every Blackhawks game. During a recent match between Chicago and the Colorado Avalanche at the United Center, Lili came upon a Tweet that said, “Click here to leave a message for your favorite Olympian.” Her favorite Blackhawks player was none other than Patrick Sharp, who was selected to represent Canada in the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi. With one click of her mouse, Lili paved the way for a once in a lifetime meeting with Patrick Sharp himself.
Lili created an exuberant Twitter message wishing Sharp well in Sochi. Her enthusiasm was more than well received, quickly resulting in yet another invitation to visit the United Center and record a video message for Sharp as he prepared to depart for the Olympic Village.
The Surprise of a Lifetime
Excited and honored, Lili graciously recorded the video message, so happy to be met with this unique opportunity. Once the taping was complete, Lili was met with the surprise of her life – an incredible thank you from her idol; an unexpected face-to-face with Patrick Sharp who had been secretly waiting backstage.
Sharp surprised his biggest fan with a grateful hug and of course, a great photo op! It was the ultimate fan experience for Lili Vlk; one she won’t soon forget.
