(a) GRAND PRIZE:

Based on past seasons, the 2023 Stanley Cup Finals are projected to take place in mid to late June 2023. As the date of the specific game to be attended by winner and guest depends on the vagaries of the playoffs of the 2022-2023 NHL Season, the specific dates of prize travel will not be available until approximately early/mid-June 2023. GRAND PRIZE WINNER MUST BE ABLE TO TRAVEL SO AS TO ATTEND SELECTED STANLEY CUP FINALS GAME; IF WINNER IS NOT AVAILABLE AT SUCH TIME FOR ANY REASON, THE GRAND PRIZE WILL BE FORFEITED WITHOUT COMPENSATION AND AN ALTERNATE WINNER SELECTED (TIME PERMITTING).

The specific city hosting the Stanley Cup Finals game depends on (a) the results of the Stanley Cup Playoffs determining which team represents the Eastern Conference and which team represents the Western Conference in the Stanley Cup Finals and (b) which of the teams/cities competing in the Stanley Cup Finals is selected by Sponsor.

Trip is awarded subject to availability. Air travel and hotel accommodations providers will be determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion. Policies/regulations of such providers apply.
