TEAMS REWARDED FOR PLAYING PENALTY FREE HOCKEY IN THE 2006 MILK PENALTY FREE SWEEPSTAKES CONTEST

(TORONTO, Ontario – February 14, 2006) – The Hockey Development Centre for Ontario (HDCO) and Dairy Farmers of Canada are pleased to announce the prize winners of the 2006 Milk Penalty Free Sweepstakes from the entries that were received province-wide.

The 2006 edition of the Penalty Free Sweepstakes marks the 19th year the program has been in existence. The Sweepstakes program is a promotion created by the members of the Hockey Development Centre for Ontario to foster skills, safety, and sportsmanship by encouraging penalty free play in Canada’s most popular sport. The program is supported by the Ontario Ministry of Health Promotion and by the Dairy Farmers of Canada.

“ The response to this year’s program reaffirms that good, clean hockey is being played throughout Ontario, remarked HDCO Executive Director Wayne Dillon. We would like to commend the thousands of coaches, officials, trainers, parents and volunteers who have all played a key role in this initiative by encouraging penalty free hockey and advocating the ideals of skills, safety and good sportsmanship.”

In addition to the prize-winning teams, each member on every team who entered the contest will receive a commemorative wristband in recognition of their penalty free play along with discount coupons from Pizza Pizza.

In conjunction with the Sweepstakes program, Dairy Farmers of Canada will also award 10 Milk Penalty Free MVPs selected in a random draw with a McDonald’s® Great Taste Card, a family pass to the Hockey Hall of Fame and a special trophy. This award was established to recognize individual players, nominated by their coach, who embody the values of the Milk Penalty Free Sweepstakes – skills, safety and sportsmanship.

The members of the Hockey Development Centre for Ontario would like to extend our congratulations to all the boys and girls, men and women, who have demonstrated their support by playing penalty free hockey. The HDCO also extends appreciation to the Dairy Farmers of Canada, the Ontario Government and all our corporate partners for making the 2006 Milk Penalty Free Sweepstakes such a success.
