Kraft is bringing ‘Hockeyville’ to the United States for the first time, and they’re offering huge prizes for a local hockey rink.
Kraft Hockeyville organizers will be selecting one hockey community to be their first U.S. selection, and the community/arena that gets picked will get $150,000 towards facility upgrades and an NHL preseason game played right there.
We took a look at the Michigan rinks with the most nominations – a high nomination count doesn’t necessarily mean that a certain rink will be declared the winner, but we felt we should salute those who are clearly doing whatever they can to support their favorite hockey rink.
Of the 211 rinks in Michigan that appeared on the list, here were the rinks that had more than 50 nominations:
- Calumet Colosseum – Calumet – 311
- Dee Stadium & Ice Rink – Houghton – 563
- Grosse Pointe Civic Arena – Detroit – 53
- Lakeview Arena – Marquette – 313
- McMorran Place Sports and Entertainment Center – Port Huron – 129
- Pullar Stadium – Sault Ste. Marie – 52
- Kennedy Recreation Center – Trenton – 97
