In case you’ve been living under a rock for the past little bit, or you just didn’t know, every year the Leafs participate in a rookies only tournament, usually held somewhere in Ontario. Over the past few years the teams in the tournament have varied, but the excitement and entertainment is always a constant.
This year the Leafs will be hosting the Chicago Blackhawks, Pittsburgh Penguins and Ottawa Senators in a tournament spanning four days (Saturday September 10 – Tuesday September 13). The Leafs play a total of three games during the tournament:
- Saturday September 10 vs Chicago Blackhawks 7 PM EST
- Sunday September 11 vs Pittsburgh Penguins 7 PM EST
- Tuesday September 13 vs Ottawa Senators 7 PM EST
We here at LeafsWire enjoy partaking every year in at least one game, so we thought we’d like other people to experience the tournament as well. Therefore, we’re going to be GIVING AWAY A PAIR OF TICKETS TO ANY ONE GAME OF YOUR CHOICE.
On Friday August 26, 2011 we’re going to randomly choose one person who either tweeted us / left a comment on this post. To be eligible for the draw you must perform the following (ridiculously easy) steps:
1. Follow us on Twitter! You can do that here.
2. Retweet this tweet. (Click me)
3. Leave us a comment on this post or tweet us with the following message:
“Hey @LeafsWire I want to see the Leafs play the (insert team here) on (insert date here). I’m excited to see (insert player name here) play! ”
EXAMPLE: Hey @LeafsWire I want to see the Leafs play the Penguins on Sunday Sept. 11. I’m most excited to see Mitch Heard play! #leafs #nhl
4. Wait patiently until 6 PM EST on Friday August 26, 2011 at which point we will randomly determine the winner.
5. We will contact the winner and work out the details of where we can ship your tickets.
That’s it. It’s not much to do, should take everyone about 5 minute each to enter. I strongly recommend taking in a rookie tournament game every year if you are able, it’s a good chance to see our prospects play.
Good luck to everyone, and thanks for being a fan!
