Are you a hockey fan? If you aren't then this is not going to make sense or be of any interest to you. If you are a hockey fan, then Thursday could be a very exciting day for you.
It's your chance to meet Alexander Ovechkin. I'm not a big hockey fan, I like going to a game or two, or watching a game at the pub but even I know Alexander Ovechkin is a big deal.
When? Thursday December 17th, 5:00pm to 7:00pm
Where? The Olympic Superstore at The Bay Downtown, Vancouver
Starting tomorrow (Tuesday) you can pre purchase items from the Signature series. You must purchase on of the signature series items in order to meet Ovechkin and have your item autographed. Signature Series merchandise 2010 Signature Series hockey poster 2010 Signature Series puck
Signature Series hockey stick
Team Russia jersey

Oops, I forgot to draw the pin winners. I have a slew of pins to give away.
Kate won the first pin - the umbrella. I have been remiss in sending it out. Don't worry Kate you will get it before Christmas.
Next up was the seaplane for anyone who left a comment between Nov 22nd and 29th. There were 11 comments left, and random.org chose commenter #4 - Michelle who said, "Hello I asked the VANOC how long your ticket is valid on the olympic bus network for your event?? They told me it was good for only 2 hours after your event, and not valid for Victory Ceremonies late at night?? Have you heard anything different.thanks Michelle ( great blog)"
In honour of the mascots 2nd birthday I had 4 pins to give away for anyone who left a comment between Nov 22nd and Dec 6th:
The Bell ice skating pin goes to Andrea
The We're Next pin goes to Sarah
The mascot totem pins goes to Roro
The mascot visa pin goes to Jawnbc
And finally Jawnbc was the first person to post on the Paint the Town Red post and is therefore the winner of the red toque pin.
