Hound Power 'Downtowner' contest launched

SAULT STE. MARIE - With a return to the OHL Playoffs on the horizon, the Soo Greyhounds Hockey Club is pleased to be teaming up with the Sault Ste. Marie Downtown Association to launch the Hound Power Downtowner contest.

Through the contest, downtown businesses and offices are encouraged to show their Greyhound pride for a chance to win prizes from the OHL club.

The contest, which opened on Tuesday, March 5, is open to all businesses and offices that are part of the BIA (Business Improvement Area) located in the downtown core.

Locations are encouraged to decorate their office/business windows with all things Hounds and get creative (think red, white, hockey jerseys, balloons, logos etc).

Members of the Downtown Association and the Soo Greyhounds will take pictures of all participating businesses/offices until the contest closes on Friday, March 15.

At that time, five businesses will be announced as the Top 5.

Those business/office window designs will be posted to the Hounds (www.facebook.com/soogreyhounds) and Downtown Association’s Facebook page’s for fan/resident voting by “liking” the photo of their choice.

Voting will close at 12 noon on Wednesday, March 20 and the winners will be announced jointly between the Hounds and Downtown Association.

Top three finalists will be awarded prizes such as a meet-and-greet with the Hounds (subject to team availability), ticket package (as chosen by the Hounds), or an autographed 2012-13 Soo Greyhounds jersey.

The Soo Greyhounds Hockey Club, and the Downtown Association invite you to be a part of the 2013 Playoffs and look forward to everyone’s participation in the Hound Power Downtowner contest.

Yes indeed, let's all jump on the bandwagon. While we're at it, let's not forget fired GM Dave Torrie, he is a big part of the team the Hounds have put on the ice this year, and their success so far. Not to take anything away from Dubas or Keefe, but people tend to forget quickly.

What Norm? The current Hound roster only has a handful of players there from the Torrie era. This team is all Dubas. Let's try to forget that era of less-than mediocre hockey. Go Hounds Go!

Just like we'll forget the eight players leaving after this season, many of them were drafted by Torrie. If either goalie stands on his head, they'll be fine.
