There will be a bit of a wait before we know the finalists in the Kraft Hockeyville competition.
The four community finalists were scheduled to be unveiled last Saturday.
Officials say the announcement will be postponed until further notice, stressing it’s the right decision at this time given COVID-19 and the cancellation of most hockey leagues in North America.
All previously submitted nominations and entries to Kraft Hockeyville 2020 are still valid.
Time is running out to nominate a community in the 14th annual Kraft Hockeyville competition.
The deadline to enter is Sunday, February 9th at 10:59pm central.
Kraft Heinz Senior Brand Manager Matt Bruce says the winning entry will receive $250,000 for arena upgrades as well as host an NHL Pre-Season game.
Three additional community finalists will also be awarded $25,000 each for arena upgrades as well as $10,000 to purchase new equipment for minor hockey programs.
Bruce says they decided to launch this campaign 14 years ago because they knew how passionate this country is about hockey.
He notes Kraft Heinz want to ensure youth and adults have a place to play.
“Having somewhere where they can be active. Learn life lessons. Make lifetime friends. That’s the importance to have those facilities available to them.”
Bruce stresses they believe sports and culture are the foundation of healthy communities.
