💰 May 2-4 Weekend Split-the-Pot! 🍻🏒💰

Alright, folks, it’s that time of year again! Whether you’re heading to the woods to wrestle with a tent or staying home to avoid the "spring" slush, we’ve got a reason for you to celebrate.

In honor of Queen Victoria—and her very specific choice of a weekend that usually involves at least one surprise blizzard—we are launching our May 2-4 Split-the-Pot! It’s a weird one all around this year so let just keep it straight forward😆

The Details:

The Pot: Winner takes home 50% of the cash.

The Cause: The other 50% goes directly toward our Game 10 $10K goal. We’re grinding hard to hit that milestone, and every ticket gets us closer to making a massive impact for the community.

The Timeline: Tickets are on sale from now until Saturday, May 23rd.

The Big Reveal: We will be drawing the lucky winner on Sunday, May 24th.

How to enter: Slots are 5.00 each. E-transfers can be made to [email protected], please put your name in the memo.

Let's make this 10th anniversary year the biggest one yet. Cheers to the Queen, cheers to the Classic, and good luck!

Happy Mother’s Day weekend to all the incredible hockey moms, grandmothers, and supporters out there! 🏒💐

With the change in seasons and new sports schedules kicking into high gear, the Mother’s Day split-the-pot draw managed to slip through the cracks. Whoops! Our apologies for the miss, but don’t worry—the founding manager of Big John’s Bar, Laura, definitely got spoiled and celebrated the way she deserves.

We aren’t going to leave you hanging for long, though! We are officially planning a May 2-4 long weekend draw, so keep your eyes peeled for those details coming very soon.

In the meantime, make sure you’re taking extra good care of all the moms in your life this weekend. They are the real MVPs of every season! 🏆✨
