The Lloydminster Lions Club is hoping a new raffle draw for this season’s NHL Stanley Cup final game will provide an extra rush for fans while raising funds for local charities.

The club’s fundraising chair, Darryl Oster, says they will sell 1,200 tickets for $5 each.

“We will pay out $600 for the time of the first goal, $800 for the first penalty and $1,200 for the winning goal,” he said, all based on time.

“It should be fun and something different. Part of the proceeds will go to diabetes research and support in the area.” we have for the Anglican Church of Canada when all representatives of the clergy, parishes and diocese get together, and that’s called general assembly.”

He explained the number of tickets is based on there being 1,200 seconds in a 20-minute period of hockey.

The Lions will also hold their second fundraising golf tournament this year in addition to their crown and anchor booth at the Lloyd Ex fair.

They will also bring back their Medieval Feast and the Grey Cup pool in 2023 to add to their fundraising pot.
