Hockey Pool Update | May 16, 2020
2019/2020 VMHA Hockey Pool Customer,
As you are aware, the above mentioned 2020 NHL Hockey season was suspended in mid-March of this year, and accordingly, our VMHA Hockey Pool. Because the mechanics of our Pool rely exclusively on each week of the NHL schedule as it was published pre-season, and much of the season will be reduced should the league resume operations, it has become regrettably clear that we will not have the opportunity to properly activate our Pool this season.
In order to remain compliant with the BC Gaming Branch and be sensitive to those who may be suffering financial hardship during this pandemic, the VMHA will offer Pool ticket purchasers a choice to obtain a refund for those weeks remaining in the Pool (weeks 8-11) or to simply donate this amount to the VMHA to be applied, as every year, toward development, programming and equipment costs. The refund amount is $7.28 per ticket and the choice is yours.
Please let us know via email by June 30, 2020. If the VMHA has not received a response from you by this date, we will consider you as a donor and we thank you very much.
Please note, if you wish to receive a refund via e-transfer, you will need to provide the stub number(s) of your tickets(s) as well as a current email address.
Please forward any questions you may have to hockeypool@vmha.com
Thank you
VMHA Board of Directors
Hockey Pool Update:
VMHA’s Hockey Pool winners are determined weekly based on the weekly NHL results. Given that the league suspended the 2019/2020 hockey season in response to the public health threat of the COVID-19 virus, our Hockey Pool must do the same.
As our winners are determined by weekly NHL results, VHMA must suspend our Hockey Pool accordingly until such time as the NHL resumes its schedule and completes the 2019/2020 season. Fingers crossed! If the season resumes, so will the Hockey Pool. Fingers crossed! Until then, Week 7 winning tickets will be the last week posted on our website.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and will resume if, and when, we are able.
Thank you for your patience.
VMHA Board of Directors
Hockey Pool Rules
Each week, the ticket with the highest “goals for” from their three randomly selected teams will win that week's first prize with the next highest points total determining subsequent prize winners for that week
A tie in any given week will use goals for minus goals against to determine a winner between all tied tickets. Any remaining ties will split the prize money for the subsequent prize won
- 1st prize .......... $250
- 2nd prize ........ $125
- 3rd prize ......... $75
- 4th prize ......... $40
- 5th prize ......... $20
Check back here every Wednesday to see that week's winners
