Hockey fans everywhere have the opportunity to virtually step into an NHL team owner’s shoes as the National Hockey League (NHL®) today announced the opening of the 2021 NHL Gaming World Championship™ (GWC) Scotiabank Fan Vote.

In a new twist to the NHL’s annual competition played on EA SPORTS™ NHL®21, fans have the chance to name the 32nd team that will compete for this season in the Scotia NHL® North Division of the GWC North American Club Championship. Fans can vote for their favorite team name on Twitter from April 14-18, with the winner being revealed live on Tuesday, April 20 during the NHL’s weekly Twitch stream with GWC broadcast voice Arda Ocal. The results will also be published on the NHL’s social platforms.

Fans can choose from one of the following four team names: Chel North, NHL One Timers, The Great Eighth and Top Chelf.

"Scotiabank is committed to opening up the game of hockey so that future generations of players and gamers from diverse backgrounds see themselves in the sport," said Mike Tasevski, Vice President of Global Sponsorship at Scotiabank. "As the official Bank of the NHL Gaming World Championship, we are excited to be a part of this fun and unique opportunity to engage the global hockey gaming community and continue introducing new fans to the game we all love."

Scotiabank has been a Canadian partner of the NHL Gaming World Championship since the tournament’s inception in 2018. They have been supportive in grassroots gaming initiatives and last year sponsored a five-part content series called ‘Learn to Chel’ – which featured popular NHL gaming personalities teaching beginners how to play the EA SPORTS™ NHL® video game title. Episodes are available here.

In addition to voting, players can register to compete for their share of the $100,000 prize pool and a chance to represent this new team or any of the other 31 NHL teams. Registration for the 2021 NHL Gaming World Championship™ is now open. Eligible players can sign up at www.nhl.com/gaming as well as find all tournament information, including format changes, schedules, rules and regulations, and prize pool allocation. Tournament matches will be streamed on the NHL’s Twitch channel.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
