We were excited to present the field for our second-annual MYHockey Rankings Play of the Year contest way back on June 24. Now, after about eight weeks of voting we are finally down to the final-four plays!

The updated bracket, posted above, includes plays that were MHR Play of the Week winners or Play of the Week finalists as well as wild-card entries.

Contest voting started on Thursday, July 27, as the field of 32 began to get narrowed down. Voting has taken place only on weekdays during the summer, with the contest running from June 27 through Aug. 22.

There was no voting July 3, 4 or 5.

Championship Voting

August 22

 

The contest is promoted daily on the MHR Twitter, Facebook and Instagram accounts, but all voting takes place on Instagram. Voting occurs on our IG story only and lasts for 24 hours. If a player from your club is involved, feel free to spread the word.

A lot of time goes into creating this contest and many sources of information are used, so if you notice that a player’s name or a team is spelled wrong or misrepresented in any way, please contact us by emailing scott@MYHockeyRankings.com. We are only human. We have double- and triple-checked all the information, but mistakes do happen, and we are happy to correct them.

If, by chance, we forget to credit someone appropriately for their video clip, just let us know. There's no need to get angry. We aren't trying to take credit for anyone's work; we are just trying to run a fun contest to get people excited about hockey during the offseason and pass the summer months. 

Good luck to all the contestants!
