For Immediate ReleaseApril 16, 2007
Moncton, NB – The puck drops on Property Guys title reign as Whitehill Cup champions on Thursday evening at the Moncton 4-Plex. The team of e-realtors rolled through the competition last year, but will face stiff opposition if they hope to retain their crown at Geeks on Ice 2007.
The Moncton based team will have to beat out 15 other cup thirsty teams from across Atlantic Canada in order to make their way into the history books. No team has ever repeated as champion in the four year history of the tournament. Ken Leblanc, CEO of Property Guys, has gone on record to say that his team is ready to take on all challengers.
Ken has a reason to be confident. On a recent visit to Moncton, Hockey Night in Canada celebrity Ron MacLean filmed an interview for GeeksonIce.com where he was asked to comment on Property Guys chances of a repeat. Without hesitation, MacLean picked Property Guys to go home with the hardware again this year.
Whitehill Technologies, Aliant/Xwave, Assomption Vie, Canada Post, Service Canada, YourTeamOnlice.ca, Dovico, Minacs, Speilo, All in Canada, AOL and CGI are some of the organizations participating in this year’s tournament featuring close to 300 players.
Besides playing hockey, Geeks will look to promote health and wellness, network with their peers and raise some serious cash in partnership with the United Way of Greater Moncton and Southeastern NB Region.
“This tournament is unique because it replaces traditional corporate environments with a casual atmosphere where social networking can take place,” explained Trevor MacAusland committee Co-Chair, “at the end of the day; it is about going out, having fun and doing something really cool for our community.”
In order for everyone to embrace their ‘Inner Geek’, there will be a GeekFest on Saturday Night, April 21st from 8 – 12 p.m. for people to participate without the skates! Dooly’s on Main Street will host the evening complete with billiards, Hockey Night in Canada, good times and prizes. Geeks of all kinds, players, organizers, supporters, IT professionals and Hockey Fans are invited.
Games will run for four days with the championship game taking place on Sunday at 1PM. If you would like to see the full schedule and or get more information contact geeksonice@gmail.com or go to http://www.geeksonice.com/.
