MUSKOKA — “Let’s go upstairs ….”

That’s where you’ll find Kris King many hockey nights pouring over video to help referees decide if a goal is a goal.

When the 25-year NHL executive vice president isn’t organizing winter outdoor hockey Classic games around the league one of his many jobs is looking at all camera angles to see whether the puck crossed the goal line in controversial calls that often decide who wins the game.

Now you, too, can go upstairs with him for a pre-game tour of the NHL’s Toronto “situation room” next Thursday (Nov. 20) at a game between his ex-team the Leafs and the Columbus Blue Jackets.

The deadline for draw tickets is noon Friday Nov. 14.

It’s part of a draw taking part of a ‘Give to Win Contest!’ arising out of last summer’s ‘Hockey Night in Muskoka’ charity game in Bracebridge.

The organizers scored a pair of gold seat tickets from Rockbrune Bros Movers who donated tickets.

How to enter:

Give $20 or more worth of these items: condiments, coffee/tea and personal care items, cereal and soups or each time you donate an increment of $20 to Manna Food Bank your name is entered to win.

King, 59, who was just elected to the Aurora Sports Hall of Fame last Thursday, played 14 years in the NHL starting in Detroit and New York, before becoming captain in Winnipeg and going to Phoenix, Toronto and Chicago before retiring.

His hockey home was Aurora most of that time. Today he has a condo in Toronto and walks to work.

Known for his grit, leadership, and community spirit, he earned the King Clancy Memorial Trophy in 1996 for his humanitarian work and leadership.

Born in Hornpayne, he played Jr. C for the Gravenhurst Indians and still has a cottage in Mathiasville.

Two ways to enter:

• Drop off your donation at the Manna Food Bank (227 Wellington St, Bracebridge, ON P1L 1C1) on Tuesday’s from 11am – 6pm  or Friday’s from 11 a.m. – 4 p.m. or at the Bracebridge Visitor Information Centre (3 Ecclestone Dr.) Monday to Friday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
• Or e-transfer your $ donation to the Manna Food bank at treasurermanna@gmail.com. Please include HNIM Contest and your contact information in the notes. Remember every increment of $20 gets your name in the draw. If you donate $100 you get 5 entries.
