From the rink to your door.
Put up a prize from your shop, like a free burger, a fresh cut or a gift card, and the fan who wins it walks through your door after the game.
Puck drop to pickup.
Pick a game and a prize
Choose a home game and what to give: a free burger, a haircut, a gift card, merch, or a seat for a period. We can help find a seat if you want one.
We build your challenge
Your name, your logo and your idea: best tailgate photo, loudest fan, best sign for the shop.
Fans enter from the stands
Every Bandwagon fan at the game sees your challenge in the live feed, and posts to win it.
The winner collects
They show the win at your counter, or check in at the seat, and their winning post, with your name on it, goes out to the whole crowd.

Nothing branded runs at a rink until that team approves it.
Questions businesses ask.
How much does it cost?
It starts small: one prize at one game. Tell us your rink and the games you want, and we’ll send options and prices.
Does the prize have to be a seat?
No. Most local businesses give something from their own shop: a free burger, a haircut, coffee for a month, a gift card. Seats work too, and we can help you find one.
Who picks the winner?
You can, or the crowd can by votes. The winner shows the win in the app at your counter, or checks in at the seat if it’s a seat prize.
Is it allowed at the arena?
Yes, with the team’s say-so: nothing branded runs at a rink until that team approves it.
Who runs the contest?
We do, on your behalf, under published contest rules: free to enter, no purchase necessary, the judging method stated up front, and a skill-testing question for winners in Canada.
Can I run more than one?
Yes. Run one every home game, or save it for the big nights: rivalry games, playoffs, the home opener.
Your name. Their best night.
