As the final buzzer sounded in Edmonton Sunday night, it signaled the end of the NHL regular season, as well as the end of the GuelphToday Perfect Pool challenge. It was a tremendous season and competitive right to the end!
Unfortunately, no one selected a Perfect Pool, which means no winners for the $50,000 cash prize courtesy of our friends at Oosterveld Heating & Air Conditioning. A few of you were pretty close though!
Congratulations to all of our winners and a big thank you to the generous sponsors for great prizes all season long!
*Note that all prizes will not be immediately released as scores are unofficial for one week (due to the possibility of a post-game scoring adjustment by the NHL). Winners will be notified with prize pickup details.
