LONDON, Ontario, Nov. 22, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Scholar’s Choice, in partnership with FICEL Sports & Entertainment are pleased to announce The Greatest Contest Ever in support of the book launch for The Greatest Jersey Ever, inspired by Paul Henderson. In addition to carrying this inspirational children’s book in all retail locations, Scholar’s Choice is inviting Canadians to share their memories of this historic moment in Canadian sport in return for a chance to win a Paul Henderson Prize Pack including an autographed Paul Henderson jersey.
Described as the #1 Biggest Moment in Canadian Sports History by the CBC, Paul Henderson’s series-winning goal in the 1972 Canada-Russia Summit Series was a moment that united Canadians from coast to coast. “The Greatest Jersey Ever presents an opportunity for families to bring a new generation of Canadians together to share this historic moment,” says Scott Webster, President of Scholar’s Choice. “In addition to demonstrating the importance of not giving up and perseverance, it provides today’s tech-savvy children with a glimpse of what life was like in the 1970’s.” The Greatest Contest Ever is the natural extension of sharing this iconic Canadian moment.
The Greatest Contest Ever runs from November 20, 2017 to December 10, 2017.
