Team Prizes & Incentives
Raise $25k as a team
Teams that achieve the minimum $25,000 fundraising goal will unlock their attendance at Draft Night (Fri, Oct 17 at the Westin Bayshore Vancouver) and their right to select an NHL Alumni onto their roster for the weekend. Due to high demand, teams that do not reach the minimum fundraising goal may not be invited to participate in future CAN Pro-Am tournaments.
Teams that do not reach the min. fundraising goal in a given year may still participate in the tournament that year, but they will not be able to attend Draft Night or have an NHL Alumni join their roster, and they may not be invited back to participate in future tournaments. Draft Dollars do not count towards the minimum $25,000 fundraising goal.
