"White Gloves for a Day"
Contest Concludes
This past summer, over 80,000 visitors took part in one of the most unique contests ever run by the Hockey Hall of Fame.
Upon entrance to the facility, each visitor was handed a pair of white gloves. Within more than 430 pairs of the gloves was a winning ticket, which instantly granted the visitors a signed copy of the 'Travels with Stanley' book — written by The Keepers of the Cup. Also each winner received a ballot for the Grand Prize — a chance to experience a day in the life of White Gloves at the 2009 NHL Awards.
The summer also included the weekly "Tales of the Cup". Visitors joined the official "Keepers of the Cup" for new stories and Q&A sessions about the Cup's travels to exotic locations and celebrity parties. Each "Tales of the Cup" session included a special "Travels with Stanley" book signing.
The "White Gloves for a Day" contest will wrap up with a random draw to select the grand prize winner on Monday, September 8, 2008. Click here to be the first to find out about the Hockey Hall of Fame's latest promotional offers and contests.
