1 of 150 EXCLUSIVE EHRHOFF NFTs 📲 FANZONE.IO

Our first “Co-Creation” NFT features NHL legend and hockey great Christian Ehrhoff

In 2018 for the first time ever the German National Team played in the hockey final at the Olympics. Christian Ehrhoff was the head of Team D as a long-time NHL professional (around 800 NHL career games from 2003–2016). In his 4th Olympics he achieved the greatest triumph in winning the silver medal.

As we push to make FANZONE the best product possible — with the best fan experience — we’re excited to present you a new pilot: During Beijing 2022 FANZONE is testing a new NFT format with Team Deutschland and German hockey legend Christian Ehrhoff called “Co-Creation” >> Ehrhoff’s fans and followers could exclusively decide in his Instagram Story, which image should be minted as a special NFT.

Ehrhoff wants to use this sports-tech innovation to raise money for a good cause. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the Herman van Veen Stiftung, helping disabled and disadvantaged children.

Playing in the 2018 Olympic final was one of the main highlights of Christian Ehrhoff’s career, even though he faced a heartbreaking 3:4 overtime loss to Russia. Currently an Eurosport expert for the Beijing hockey tournament, Ehrhoff is excited about his first-ever NFT:

“To bring my first NFT in co-creation with my fans to the market is meant as an
appreciation for supporters and fans and also has an innovation kick for me personally. An NFT by fans for fans is unique. The fact that part of the proceeds will go to Herman van Veen Foundation feels like another medal win.”

Twitter has a preview of this special Co-Creation NFT:

During his 13-year NHL career Ehrhoff played for 6 different teams: San Jose Sharks, Vancouver Canucks, Buffalo Sabres, Pittsburgh Penguins, LA Kings and Chicago Blackhawks. So it’s only fitting, that his NFT drop takes place before the start of Sunday’s USA-Germany matchup at the Olympics.
