The submission period is open from Dec. 1 to Jan. 5 at 5 pm. Communities will compete for a grand prize which includes a 2008/09 National Hockey League pre-season game played at the winner's community arena, a visit from CBC's Hockey Night in Canada and $100,000 toward arena upgrades - double last year's arena upgrade purse.

For the first time, each of the four runner-up communities will be awarded $20,000 towards arena upgrades. 

Interested individuals or groups can compete by logging on to www.cbcsports.ca/hockeyville , filling out a simple application form and submitting a short essay with three supporting photos that depict their hometown pride and passion for the game.

The top 10 communities will be announced Feb. 17 at 6 pm. Following the broadcast, Canadians are invited to vote online or via telephone for the top five communities that best represent the spirit of hockey in Canada. The 2008 winner will be announced on CBC'S Hockey Night In Canada April 5.
