Local Youth Hockey Teams Get a Chance at $1,000 Sponsorship, Title of ‘Hockey Team of the Week’

Sept. 22, 2011 - PRLog -- METRO DETROIT, Sept. 8, 2011 — With hockey season just around the corner, Play It Again Sports is ready to support youth hockey teams throughout the metro Detroit area with two great contests.  Youth teams will have the opportunity to win a $1,000 sponsorship from Play It Again Sports and weekly chances to be named Play It Again Sports Hockey Team of the Week.

The Play It Again Sports $1,000 Sponsorship sweepstakes starts on Wed., Sept. 8 and will run through Sept. 23.  Hockey players, coaches and parents will be able to nominate their teams for a chance to win. One lucky team will be chosen at random and will be presented with a check for $1,000 from Play It Again Sports.

In addition, the ten local Play It Again Sports stores will weekly name a Hockey Team of the Week for the duration of the youth hockey season, beginning Sept. 20 through the end of the year. Players, coaches and parents, can nominate and vote for their teams on the Play It Again Sports Facebook page. Weekly winners will be invited into their local Play It Again Sports store for a party where each player will receive $10 to spend on any merchandise in the store. Winning teams will also qualify for the grand prize — tickets to the CCHA College Hockey Championship on March 17 at Joe Louis Arena.
