Most Canadians are looking forward to watching exciting NHL games with their family. The new season is starting and I know the Canucks will win this year. You might be similarly optimistic about the Habs, or the Oilers, or maybe even the Leafs! Haha, let the rivalries begin. This contest is meant to kick off the new season with a fun way to get the young ones in your family similarly pumped. There are four NHL Zamboni prizes to be won: Zamboni for him, Zamboni for her, Zamboni for children all over the country!

How Kool Karz can bring families together

Kook Karz ride-on toys are really cool. I don’t have to imagine how much I would have loved one when I was young: I want one now! If you have children and love hockey you have to enter this contest or go to the Best Buy website and order one. You don’t have to get a Zamboni. If I was buying one for myself, I’d likely choose a vintage Mercedes Benz. There are many options. If you have a farm, you might prefer the tractor! Children love to emulate their parents and Kool Karz have a range of options so your young one can feel “big” like mommy and daddy.

But of course hockey is how many Canadians gather as a family. If you won this contest, your child could drive the Zamboni from the living room to the kitchen during commercial breaks to get snacks and beverages! It’s all about teaching the importance of team work. They’ll learn how important supporting your team is. There is a cup on the line after all. Cheering and supporting your team is how the cup finally comes home where it belongs.

How will you celebrate the new NHL season

Some of us watch hockey games religiously on Saturday nights. I grew up with that HNIC theme song going through my head as I walked through snowy streets delivering papers. This was well before the amazing Neil Peart perfected it! ( I love how he described his relationship with hockey, “The whole experience-the game, the players, the fans, the announcers, the commercials, the weather-is like an intravenous shot of Canadiana.” (read the full story here and click on the image to the right to see his version of the theme song).

Many people will kick off the NHL season by playing NHL 24. The newest version of this amazing EA Sports game has just launched and you can get it for Xbox and PlayStation. You can get a behind the scenes look into how this game was created, and see it in action in Matthew Rondina’s excellent article detailing his visit to EA Games in Burnaby BC.

Read his article, then return here to enter this fun NHL Kool Karz contest.

  19. My daughter would love this pink front end loader to move the leaves in our yard! https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/kool-karz-loader-truck-ride-on-toy-pink/16479306
    In Matthews article I was blown away by the attention to detail to get the graphics right! Using real hockey players with special sensors attached to them to capture their moves and cameras to film their movements! Adds to the realism for the video game player since I know most people could only dream of being an NHL star! I only dream of not falling on the ice when I skate with my little …

  33. I would like to see the Montreal Canadiens win the cup. It would make the hubby so happy. The Zamboni would be awesome for our son. When looking at Matthew Rondina’s visit to EA Sports article, I was surprised to see all the technology involved. The 2 things I didn’t know…how many things they do at the centre and how much work actually goes into a video game. I was blown away!!!

  36. He discussed how real crowd behavior is added to the game to make it more authentic and how NHL players are scanned into the game where elements like hair and facial features are manually created.

  43. I think my daughter would like the green tractor the most, and I hope the Oilers finally bring in the cup with McDavid.
