Chrysler Canada in partnership with the Ontario Minor Hockey Association is proud to announce the names of the Dodge Caravan Kids minor hockey teams who have won the top five cash prizes in this year’s Dodge Caravan Kids photo contest.
Photographs were submitted by more than 1,600 teams from throughout Canada who participated in the 2013-2014 Dodge Caravan Kids Program.
Founded in 2006, the Dodge Caravan Kids program is a joint effort between participating amateur hockey organizations throughout the country in partnership with Chrysler Canada and Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep® and Ram retailers. The program aims to keep the cost of playing hockey down for families, by providing sponsorship funding to novice house league teams. Since the program started, Dodge has invested over $5 million in program funding and has extended its reach to well over 150,000 kids who have worn either a “Dodge Caravan Kids” or “Recrues Dodge” jersey.
“Our sincere congratulations to the 2013-2014 winners of the Dodge Caravan Kids Photo Contest,” said Ed Broadbear, Vice President Marketing, Chrysler Canada. “Hockey is woven into the landscape of Canada, just like the Dodge Grand Caravan is woven into the driveways of millions of families around the world. We are thrilled to be able to help so many kids further enjoy the sport of hockey by making it more affordable to Canadian families.”
The Dodge Caravan Kids photo contest encouraged teams to take a fun photo incorporating a Dodge Grand Caravan, their local Dodge dealership or a fun way to say thank you to Dodge.
“The Ontario Minor Hockey Association would like to thank the hundreds of OMHA teams that entered the Dodge Caravan Kids photo contest and Chrysler Canada for their ongoing support of this great program,” said Chris McCleary, Director of Marketing, OMHA. “This great partnership has provided invaluable funding to make our game more accessible at the grass roots level since its inception in 2006.”
$3,000 in cash prizes was awarded to the teams, based on their rankings. These additional funds are often used by the teams to support an end of year banquet, replace equipment, purchase additional ice time, or pay for tournament registration costs.
More than 400 OMHA Teams participated in the Caravan Kids Program this year. Each team is automatically entered in the contest with the submission of their team photo. Over the eight years of its existence, the Dodge Caravan Kids Program has sponsored over 2100 OMHA Teams, as a result providing approximately $1.25 Million to the OMHA and its member association and teams.
