Marcil Family wins 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan
Friday May 23, 2014
Janice and Andre Marcil of North Bay, Ontario, are the Grand Prize winners of the Dodge Family All-Stars contest and recipients of a 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan, valued at $34,000 presented during the Semi-Final matchup at the 2014 MasterCard Memorial Cup.
The Marcil’s, a billet family with the OHL’s North Bay Battalion, were one of three finalists from across the CHL who won a trip for two to the MasterCard Memorial Cup and had an opportunity to win the grand prize. Finalists included Regina Pats’ billets the Kosior family, and Moncton Wildcats’ billets the Stephen family.
In the second year of the Dodge Family All-Stars Contest, the CHL and Dodge once again teamed up to recognize the hundreds of incredible billet families across Canada and the integral part they play in both the lives of players and the overall success of the CHL. Each year, over 1,000 hockey-loving families welcome CHL players into their home and provide security and support to these young men while they pursue their hockey dreams in cities and towns that are often far away from their own.
Through the Dodge Family All-Stars program, billet families submitted stories which gave readers an inside look into their lives, sharing some of the humorous, touching and challenging aspects of being a CHL billet family. Readers were then encouraged to vote for their favourite story online at http://dodgefamilyallstars.com.
Over 15,000 votes were cast in support of the families who participated in the Contest, which ran from October 10, 2013 to March 20, 2014.
The CHL and Dodge wish to thank all of the families who participated in the Dodge Family All-Stars program.
