200×85 to provide Pure Hockey gift cards to hockey families this Christmas

Buddy the Elf will tell you that “the best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear.” Here at 200×85, we beg to differ.

We think the best way to spread Christmas cheer is by doing what we do best: helping kids experience the game of hockey. But, between the costs of equipment, ice time, training sessions, and everything else that comes along with the game, we know just how quickly those expenses can pile up.

That’s why we’ve launched 200×85’s Christmas Cheer program. This year, we’ll be donating ten $200 Pure Hockey gift cards to families who could use an assist this holiday season. Maybe it’s time for a new pair of skates? Or maybe your mite was hoping to find a new twig under the tree? Whatever the case may be, we’re here to help you out.

“Giving back to the hockey community is just what we do,” says Kevin Mann, CEO of 200×85. “This community has given us so much, so it’s only right that we return the favor. We know how financially challenging it can be for people to experience the game, and we’re hoping to ease some of the stress for hockey families this Christmas.”

So, who’s eligible to score off of this apple? Glad you asked. We’re looking to support hard working people, who just need a little bit of help this holiday season. Athletes and families, from all walks of life, are encouraged to nominate themselves, a teammate, or a family member for the 200×85 Christmas Cheer program.

Buddy the Elf will also remind you that “there’s room for everyone on the nice list,” and, well…who can disagree with that? That’s why we made the nomination process super easy! All you have to do is apply online and tell us a little bit about yourself: where you’re from, who you’re nominating, and why you’re nominating them. You better hurry, nominations close on December 14th!
