March 28, 2011 (Vancouver, BC) – As playoff anticipation grows to a fever pitch, Future Shop added to the Canadian hockey excitement by launching their newest online contest, “LG Top Score!” The game-based interactive contest launched recently and enters Canadian participants into a draw for chances to score a grand prize hockey and home electronics fans alike will love.
“Future Shop is thrilled to team-up with October 17 Media for a third straight season to build another fun-filled hockey-themed contest,” said Nikki Hellyer, Director of Marketing, Future Shop. “They understand our brand and created the LG Top Score! Contest as a very engaging and interactive experience, not to mention highly addictive.”
To enter the LG Top Score! contest, participants must play the shootout-inspired game by attempting to score against the goalie from various positions on the rink. As an added bonus, registered players with scores over 10 will also be entered to win weekly prizes.
“We’ve created a game that taps into the overwhelming Canadian enthusiasm for hockey, is fun to play and is something participants would get excited to share with their friends by posting scores on Facebook and Twitter,” said Hellyer.
“Social media, hockey Playoffs and digital marketing are popular modern Canadian pastimes, and we’re excited to bring the three together into one seriously fun contest,” said Tamara Brooks, Co-owner, October 17 Media. “The October 17 Media office is addicted to playing the game, and we hope that everyone else has as much fun with it as we have!”
