February Fantasy Contest

We are running a contest over the next week here at DobberHockey with some sweet giveaway prizes from 2XU. Test your fantasy hockey mettle against the best and most passionate poolies on the net.

Read on for contest details and to find out what you can win!

The Contest:

Pick one player from each of the following categories.

• If you pick a player who ends up winning his respective category, you get five points.

• If you pick the player who ends up coming in second in his respective category, you get three points.

• And finally, for picking the third place finisher in a respective category, you will be awarded one point.

For example, if Kessel finishes the period with the most goals, whoever picked him gets five points. If you don’t pick any of the top three players in a respective category, you end up with zero points for that category.

And the three entries with the highest combined point totals will win. We will use the all-mighty coin to settle any tiebreakers.

The scoring that is counted is from NHL games from Wednesday, February 13^th until Tuesday, February 19^th, inclusive (including the games on the 19^th).

The Prizes:

The top three entries will all receive prizes.

1^st Place – Active run shirt from 2XU 

2^nd Place – Compression socks from 2XU

Compression socks are a great way to recover from workouts. And if you aren’t a gym-goer, they make flying/travelling much more comfortable. I wrote about the benefits of compression gear a few months ago here.

The main benefits of compression sportswear is that it keeps the muscles warm to prevent muscle strain and fatigue, and wick sweat away from the body to prevent chafing and rashes. In addition, there is some evidence that compression shorts may enhance athletic performance.[1] Compression sportswear also helps to keep undergarments in place, and for certain sports, like baseball and softball, come with padding at the hips to protect players from injuries due to sliding.

PRIMARY USES:

› Active wear – Warming up, training and racing
› Recovery – Post workout
› Travel - Prevention of DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis) and pooling of blood in feet
› Sleeping – Increases circulation for improved muscle repair and faster recovery
› At altitude to help combat less oxygen - Training / recovery / sleeping
› Rehabilitation from injury or surgery

3^rd Place – Fantasy hockey team audit from yours truly (either posted on DobberHockey or via e-mail if you don’t want your competitors reading it).
