FIRST SCOTIABANK FAN FAVOURITES HONOURED THIS WEEKEND

Date:  Source: Ontario Junior A Hockey League

Voting in the Ontario Junior Hockey League’s eighth annual Scotiabank Fan Favourite Award competition ends today at 11:59 p.m.

On top of honouring a league-wide winner, Scotiabank Fan Favourites on each of the 22 teams across the OJHL – as selected by the fans – will be honoured in every OJHL community.

Those team honours will be handed out beginning this weekend. Ceremonies will be held in OJHL communities throughout the final week of the regular season – it ends Feb. 23 – and the first week of the playoffs.

Voting began Dec. 21.  

The winner of the eighth annual league-wide Scotiabank Fan Favourite Award will be honoured during an OJHL Awards Ceremony with details to follow.  
The Scotiabank Fan Favourite Award was presented for the first time following the 2011-12 season and has OJHL fans vote online to choose their favourite OJHL star.  All fans will be allowed to submit players names in an online form found on the homepage of the OJHL website, www.ojhl.ca.  The winner will be the player that receives the most submissions (votes) through the course of the online voting.  

Last year saw a record 83,885 votes cast, but that number has been easily surpassed this season. Through the first seven years of Scotiabank Fan Favourite Award balloting, close to 300,000 votes were registered.
