WHAT ARE SOME TIPS TO GET ME STARTED ON MY NOMINATION STORY? 

Think about what your story is really about. Ask yourself: 
"Why am I telling this story?" 

Understanding the "why" behind your story and how it relates to the "who," "what," "where," and "when" will help you craft a meaningful story about your community. 

Make it easy for readers to relate to your community. Let your words paint a picture of your community. Create vivid imagery by incorporating language that appeals to the five senses: touch, taste, hearing, sight and smell. 

Bring us into your world. Provide explanations for any acronyms and language references you use that are specific to your community.


If submitting a video: 
Your video should not exceed 2 minutes and must answer all of the three (3) questions below:

1.       Tell us about your community's spirit as well as its passion for hockey. Can you describe or explain examples of how this came to life?

2.       Tell us about your arena. Why is it important to you, your family, and your community?

3.       Explain how your community will use the $250,000 to upgrade and improve your arena.

 

WHY SHOULD I WRITE A NOMINATION? 

Photos and notes on your Community Rally Page are definitely welcome, but nomination stories are the most important piece of this competition! We want to hear from you, in your own words, why your Arena is important to your community and why it deserves to win the Grand Prize. 

Keep in mind, nomination stories individually count for 80% of your arena or community’s total score.

HOW IS THE TOP 4 DETERMINED? WHAT ARE THE JUDGING CRITERIA? 

During the Judging Phase, all story submissions will be judged by a panel of representatives from the Sponsor, NHL, and NHLPA. The criteria the story is judged on is as follows:

1.       Depiction of the nominated community's spirit and passion for hockey (50%)

2.       Description of the Arena's importance to you, your family and your community (25%)

3.       Description of how the prize money would be used (25%)

The Story Submission score will count for 80% of the overall score, and the Rally Score is worth the remaining 20%. The four (4) Arenas (a minimum of 1 per division) with the highest overall scores will be deemed the finalists!
