************************* Hockey fans unite: National pledge launches to support the Ottawa Senators Scotiabank challenges all Canadians to sign online pledge and enter for a chance to win tickets to Game 6 in Ottawa

TORONTO, ON - (May 30) - Calling all hockey fans! Whether you're Oilers-obsessed, a Leaf-lover, Flames fanatic, or a committed Canadien or Canuck - the time for icy hockey rivalries is over.

Scotiabank is challenging all Canadians to take an online pledge to bring the world's greatest trophy back to Canada - the nation where hockey was born.

Toronto Mayor David Miller, Vancouver Mayor Sam Sullivan and Calgary Mayor Dave Bronconnier will be the first three Canadians to pledge their support. The campaign, launched this week by Scotiabank is challenging all Canadians to pledge their 'hockey-loving' souls for the duration of the series (but only for the duration of the series) and support the Ottawa Senators.

The online pledge wall will go live Thursday May 31st at 5 a.m. "Hockey was born in Canada and is a part of our national identity.

Launching this pledge is Scotiabank's way of helping Canadians unite for a great cause - bringing hockey victory back to our country!" said John Doig, senior vice president of marketing at Scotiabank. "Our goal is to get all Canadians to sign our virtual pledge wall by the final game." Participants that make the pledge can also enter for a chance to win two tickets to game six in Ottawa on June 9.

The prize also includes transportation to Ottawa, accommodation and $500 spending money.

(Should there not be a Game 6, winners will be able to attend an opening Canadian game of their choice next season).

The Scotia Pledge

I, __________ devoted fan of the ____________________________ solemly swear to set aside team rivalries for the duration of the season and pledge my support to the remaining Canadian team.

I hereby dedicate my hockey-loving soul to their quest to bring the glory home to the place where hockey was born, where the game was perfected, where its spirit runs deepest, And where the world's greatest trophy belongs.
