What should Somerville Youth Hockey do to celebrate Hockey Weekend Across America?

Got ideas, send them to webmaster@somervilleyouthhockey.org


Hockey Weekend Across America will be celebrated Jan. 29-31 across the nation. While USA Hockey leads the initiative, it will take the effort of all hockey entities, administrators and fans across the country to put programs in place to make the event a true success. Together, we not only want to celebrate our great game and those involved in the sport at all levels, but also strive to expose hockey to new audiences.

"WHY HOCKEY ROCKS" VIDEO CONTEST

Beginning on Monday, Dec. 7, fans can visit HockeyWeekendAcrossAmerica.com and begin submitting one-minute videos describing why hockey is the greatest sport in the world. These videos will be voted on by fans beginning in January, and 16 finalists will be awarded vouchers good for $300 worth of Reebok Hockey merchandise.

Following a tournament-style pairing process, the winning contest entry will be announced on Jan. 31 and will net its maker a total of $2,500 in Reebok Hockey merchandise. Those voting will also have a shot at winning $300 worth of Reebok Hockey merchandise.

Further details and contest rules will be available at HockeyWeekendAcrossAmerica.com.
