PRESS RELEASE. Locker Token & Ice Hockey extraordinaires Rögle BK have officially announced an In-Real-Life (IRL) NFT, event to take place at the Catena Arena – home of the European Champions. The event is designed to showcase the innovative asset class that is NFTs, while educating Rögle fans on how to use the blockchain and purchase their favorite player cards.
The event, which will take place on December 30, will feature educational content, a free coin for the first 500 fans, and personal interaction with cryptocurrency experts – The Nordic whales.
About the event
Rögle BK fans were the first fan base to create favorite players and in-game moments via the Locker sports NFT marketplace. The team has been equipped with the technology to create any NFTs that would potentially be desired by fans, with NFTs created easily through the Locker Token app. In line with the partnership, the event is planned to help fans take their first steps into blockchain.
The event will be organized and supported by local natives Nordic whales, which is only 20 minutes from the stadium. The AMA enthusiasts are able to offer educational content in both English and Swedish due to their proximity to the team.

What is Locker Token?
Locker Token is an ecosystem for sports teams and athletes that allows them to future-proof and monetize their respective offerings through blockchain, while connecting the fans and the athletes themselves via a unique asset class. Known for its ticker – $LKT – Locker was recently listed on CoinMarketCap after a successful contract migration.
Despite being a relatively new project, the ecosystem features a number of the world’s best ice hockey teams and players, including; Rögle BK, Manchester Stormand HC Bolzano. Several teams across both ice hockey and other sports are getting onboard, with the ultimate goal of onboarding each respective team’s fan base to Locker as engaged fans and buyers.
From a token perspective, the recent Ethereum price decline has dragged down the price of $LKT due to the closely related nature of Locker as an ERC20 token. However, the team has continued to build and create new partnerships despite the market-wide downturn.
500 lucky fans will receive a free coin when they scan a QR code.
