During each day of the Stanley Cup® Playoffs, hockey fans are encouraged to visit www.molsonfandraft.ca on their mobile device to pick a team (consisting of eight players and one goalie) and collect points.

Fan Draft players whose teams collect the most points (based upon actual on-ice performance from each night's playoff games) will win delicious daily food prizes at Boston Pizza, including Cactus Cut Potatoes, Boston Pizza's famous wings and 8" Indy Pizzas. Players will also be entered in a random draw to win NHLShop.ca gift cards (weekly), a Molson mini fridge (monthly) and a once-in-a-lifetime trip for 2 to Game 4 of the Stanley Cup® Final.

"Stanley Cup® Playoffs make for must watch television for millions of Canadian hockey fans, so we wanted to provide our Guests with a fun and accessible way to play along, while they cheer on their favourite teams and players," said James Kawalecki, Director of Marketing, Sports Programs, Sponsorship and Eastern Canada at Boston Pizza International Inc.
