The minor hockey season has just kicked-off, but for the Yorkton UCT Bantam AA Terriers team they've already won something that should have them all on TV by Saturday night during the broadcast of Hockey Night in Canada.
As 'Scotiabank Hockey Tonight Kids,' the minor league hockey team will get their chance to be seen and heard on CBC's Hockey Night in Canada. They will be introducing an NHL game on the pre-game show, Scotiabank Hockey Tonight, at 5:30 p.m. CST prior to the start of the game on Saturday, November 19th, 2011.
"The 'Scotiabank Hockey Tonight Kids' program was an absolute hit with the kids the past three years and we're thrilled to be 'calling up' even more teams this season," said Susan Stewardson, Scotiabank branch manager.
"Scotiabank has always been proud of our support of minor hockey in Canada and we hope this program gives kids a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to feel the excitement of Hockey Night in Canada and the big leagues."
After three unbelievable seasons of bringing the excitement of Hockey Night in Canada to youth across the country, Scotiabank is once again supporting Canada's next generation of hockey greats - and hockey fans.
"We're proud that the Scotiabank Hockey Tonight Kids program has given minor league teams across Canada a truly unique experience for the last four years," said Duncan Hannay, Scotiabank senior vice president, Canadian marketing.
"At the same time, the excitement and spirit that these teams bring is infectious and I'd like to thank all of the parents, coaches and players that have been and will be a part of this program."
The Bantam AA Terriers are one of several minor hockey teams from communities across Canada to be 'Scotiabank Hockey Tonight Kids.'
