MONTREAL, Oct. 5, 2017 /CNW/ - Young hockey players in
Montreal dream about being part of
the most decorated franchise in the NHL. Under Armour and the
Montreal Canadiens have once again teamed up to give Bantam Hockey
teams the chance to play on the same ice as Carey Price and the Habs. The Quebec wide competition lets youth teams
compete in a number of online and social media challenges before
two deserving teams are chosen to "Be The Habs" for a day and play
a game at the Bell Centre.
New this year, teams will not only need to showcase their
skills, but also prove through online and social media content why
they are the strongest, most determined and motivated team in
Montreal. Over the course of the
seven-week competition, Bantam hockey teams will submit highlight
videos that showcase why they deserve to Storm The Centre.
"Since our first Storm The Centre competition in Montreal, we have seen teams of determined,
young, hockey players who amaze us with their hustle and
determination," says Jon Irwin,
Senior Director, Commercial Strategy, Under Armour Canada. "This is
a great opportunity for Bantam hockey teams to strengthen their
skills on and off the ice to earn their spot and play at the Bell
Centre."
Registration on Canadiens.com/stormthecentre is now open for the
competition. Teams have 7 weeks to upload content to chapters on
the website to tell their team's story. Throughout the competition,
teams will be asked to submit photo and video content such as
players doing trick shots, pre-game rituals and goal
celebrations. The more content that teams put in each chapter,
the better chance the team has at winning. The top two teams who
tell their team story best will be rewarded with a spot at The
Armour Cup, their chance to live like the pros and "Be the Habs"
for a day. This will be a full day of training and professional
treatment capped off with a game at the Bell Centre. Rules and
Regulations for the competition can be found here.
The Storm The Centre competition is also running in Toronto and for the first time in Edmonton.
