The contest will be promoted daily on the MHR Twitter, Facebook and Instagram accounts, but the plan is for all voting will take place on Instagram. That is subject to change, however. 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!
