Using the vocabulary of sports, Supovitz, the National Hockey League events and entertainment director, has created a playbook for events managers and marketers complete with "sideline stories" and "coach's clipboards."

He includes expense budget worksheets and samples of proposals to host cities, facility survey forms and license agreements. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
