NY Auto Giant Awards $30,000 for Slap Shot UNIONDALE,
NY - NY Auto Giant hit the ice Saturday afternoon at the Nassau
Coliseum during the New York Islanders game against the Ottawa Senators.
The NY Auto Giant Puck Shoot contest offered up big excitement and lots
of difficulty, which for one lucky fan proved not only surmountable,
but also drivable.
Mike Mann, of Huntington, N.Y., scored big as
winner of the intermission contest which placed eight Islander
"chuck-a-puck" winners at the far blue line - 114 feet away from the
goal line - and invited them to try their skill at hitting a puck into
the net. There was no goalie and the open face of the net was entirely
covered except for a hole, the size of the puck itself, through which
the winning shot had to pass.
To the audible cheer of fans, and shocked faces of the New York
Islanders Ice Girls, Mr. Mann scored and won the grand prize from NY
Auto Giant, a $30,000 credit from the dealership applicable toward any
car he chooses.
Atlantic Auto Group Vice President Michael
Brown said, "It was such an exciting moment, as much for us as it was
for Mr. Mann. We have such a great relationship with the New York
Islanders and their fans. It was a perfect opportunity for us to give
the fans a real challenge and offer them such a rewarding prize which in
this case was any car they wanted from us. I couldn't be happier with
the results of the contest and I'm eager to do something like this again
in the near future."
According to a press release posted on
the New York Islanders' website, Mr. Mann said, "I followed the same
idea as a golfer, just following through and aimed at the target. I was
shocked when the puck actually slid through the small space in front of
the goal. It was unbelievable."
Contestants became eligible to compete for the free car from
NY Auto Giant
by becoming finalists in the chuck-a-puck contest: Fans purchased five
pucks during intermission and threw their pucks at a target at the
rink's center; the closest puck won half the money collected from all
pucks purchased. The other half was donated to the Islanders Children's
Foundation.
