Contest seeks to name 'Best Adult Hockey Team In the World' with $8k prize

CALGARY, Alberta - Aug. 27, 2016 - PRLog -- The best thing to happen to adult hockey since beer: The Westy!

CALGARY, Alta. — Adult hockey players are finally getting their chance at recognition — with an $8,000 prize haul to take home at the buzzer.

Beer league hockey's only podcast, Beer League Talk, has started the search for the Best Beer League Team in the World.

The Westy is the most prestigious award in adult hockey. The winning team not only comes away with bragging rights but also takes home over $8,000 in hockey gear, including a new set of uniforms, gloves, sticks and plenty more to elevate your team's game.

Nomination is quick and easy. Submit a team you think deserves the title of the best beer league team — or nominate your own team if you're up to the challenge — at WestyAward.com. Eligible teams must be playing in a recreational league — sorry NHL, go play with your cup.

No need to slash and trip your way to the top; teams will climb their bracket by rallying friends and fans to vote online.

Team nominations begin today, Aug. 15, and end Sept. 21. Voting begins on Sept. 22 and the Westy will be bestowed upon the champions Nov. 18.
