Hockey Goes On Contest voting was steady on Saturday. Did YOU vote online?
By David F. Rooney
With $100,000 at stake for Revelstoke Minor Hockey, voting was steady at multiple locations around town on Saturday as volunteers worked to get people to vote online for Dennis Berarducci.
Kraft is giving away $1 million in the contest. There are five $100,000 first prizes — one for the top vote-getter in each of five regions. Dennis is one of the people nominated in the Pacific Region. Revelstoke supporters would sure like to win that $100,000. Failing that, they’d like to win one of the $20,000 second prizes. But either people have to get out there and vote for Dennis.
You can do that by going to www.krafthockeygoeson.ca then click on the Pacific Region and search the page for Dennis’ smiling face. Once you have found that click on the Vote button. A pop-up Captcha panel will ask you to type in two words. One will look quite wonky the other appears familiar normal. The Captcha system is used to screen-out software robots. Fill in the words correctly, press the red Vote button and you’re done.
You can do this as many times as you like as there are no rules against it. So go online and vote and get all your friends and family members — no matter where they are — to vote, too! The more votes votes we get the better our chances of winning big!
Here are a few photos from some of the locations where volunteers were soliciting votes:

When they weren’t answering questions or helping other vote they cast numerous ballots for Dennis. Multiple ballots were not disallowed in the Hockey Goes On Contest. David F.
