FULTON, NY — The Kraft Hockeyville contest is back and the Fulton Community Center has entered its ice rink in the competition. The contest prize includes $150,000 in rink upgrades and the chance to host a nationally televised NHL preseason game.
Jeff Schremp, the president of the Fulton Youth Hockey Organization, says that it is a nationwide contest and explained how the community can get involved.
“You go on their website and you ask your community to write letters as to why you should get a grant worth a hundred and fifty thousand dollars to make improvements your rink,” Schremp said.
According to Schremp, the organization is run by volunteers only. Anything that gets done at the rink is done by a non-paid employee. If they won, the organization would use the money towards updated locker rooms and a new zamboni. The total cost of both would potentially be between $85,000 and $170,000.
“Any money like that would make huge improvements to our facility,” Schremp said.
The Kraft Hockeyville contest will announce the top four finalists March 31. The winner of will be announced April 14. To find out more information on the contest, visit https://www.krafthockeyville.com.
