There are about 10 spots remaining for two-man teams in Friday's IWK Fredericton Playoff Hockey Pool. All proceeds from the event would accrue to the IWK Health Centre Foundation.

Two-man teams will draft their entries Friday night from 7-7:30 p.m. in the Community Rooms at Willie O'Ree Place. The draft would run 10 rounds. Four different pools of 12 or 13 teams each will run.

The $200 entry fee includes beer, pop, pizza and snacks. Winners in each of the four pools win a P.E.I. golf package, including one night's accommodation and two rounds of golf with a cart. A raffle prize of hotel accommodations, tickets for an NHL game in Montreal and return air fare is also available. Boston Red Sox and Toronto Raptor tickets will also be drawn for over the course of the draft.

For further information or to pick up an entry form, call Andy Clark (206-1003, andyclark@rogers.com); Peter Clark (449-3632; peterclark@growthworks.ca) or Dan Sherstenka (449-6454; Danny.Sherstenka@cibc.com).
