Cougars Partner with The Home Depot for 2010 Backyard Rink Contest

PRINCE GEORGE, BC– The Prince George Cougars, in partnership with The Home Depot, are proud to announce the launch of the 2010 Backyard Rink Contest.

The contest offers outdoor rink makers the chance to face off against members of the Prince George Cougars in their own backyard. Last year, the Shaw family from the Hart was the local winner in the Home Depot Backyard Rink Contest- a nationwide event executed in several different markets.

“This is an event Cougars players and the organization always looks forward to and is a great way for the players and fans to interact one on one” says Cougars Vice President Brandi Brodsky. “After the draw is made, there will be a few Cougar fans who will get the chance to lace up their skates with some of their heroes in their own neighborhood.”

To enter, contestants must simply fill out a ballot at The Home Depot store at 5959 O’Grady Road, or at the Cougars office at the CN Centre. The contest ends February 12th, with the winner announced at the Cougars home game that night vs. the Portland Winterhawks.

The Home Depot Backyard Rink winner will host a game on their home rink with members of the Prince George Cougars at a date to be determined.
