Th an k yo u to o ur p ro u d sp on so rs ... A new national contest is asking Canadian children and their parents what they think playing strong, clean and fair hockey means. And your answer could mean a trip to the 2008 IIHF World Championship being held in Canada for the first time ever. "We feel that Canada's national pastime could benefit from the country's youngest citi- zens explaining what it means to play hockey strongly, yet cleanly and fairly, both on and off the ice," said John Schofield, VP & Country Manager Henkel Consumer Goods Canada Inc. "As supporters of hockey at many skill lev- els, we believe their input could provide impor- tant and insightful learning that we should all embrace." The Henkel Play Fair, Play Clean Contest runs until March 31, 2008. Canadians six to 16 years of age can team up with their parents or legal guardians, log onto www.henkelpower- players.ca and follow the on-screen instruc- tions to submit an original essay of 250-500 words. The essay should simply and concisely outline what playing fair and clean hockey means to them. Each month, a winner will be selected randomly from all entries to receive an MP3 Player. One grand prize winning team will receive a trip to Halifax to see a World Hockey Tournament game in May 2008. Your entry can also help another child get to play hockey. Recognizing that many Canadian children just can't afford to play the sport, Henkel will donate $5 through their cor- porate philanthropy program, Henkel Smile, to KidSportT for every essay entry that is received. KidSport is a national children's charitable program that helps disadvantaged kids overcome the barriers preventing or limit- ing their participation in organized sport. This is in addition to the company's recent initial donation of $25,000 to KidSport.
