Just some info on a contest the OMHA is running to find out why kids love to play hockey.
The Ontario Minor Hockey Association is proud to announce the “I Love to Play Hockey” Essay Contest presented by Respect in Sport. The contest is designed to engage players in an educational manner while encouraging them to express their ideas and thoughts on why they truly love to play hockey.
All registered Ontario Minor Hockey Association participants are encouraged to enter the contest by writing a story no longer than 250 words that begins with the phrase “I love to play hockey because…” The top five essays will be selected by a committee based on the quality, creativity and passion demonstrated in their submission.
All finalists will be awarded a copy of Hockey Canada’s 100th Anniversary book titled “It’s Our Game” along with an OMHA prize pack. The grand prize winner will receive four tickets to a Toronto Maple Leafs home game in the 2015-16 season, hotel accommodations, tickets to the Hockey Hall of Fame and $200 spending money. The essays will also be included in an upcoming edition of Hometown Hockey Magazine.
Submissions will be accepted from February 5 through to April 3. Original essays should be limited to 250 words or less. More details on the contest and how to submit essays can be found at the OMHA website link below:
