Thousands of fans will be descending on Ottawa, Ontario for the 2012 NHL All-Star Game, but one fan will get to experience the event like no other courtesy of Upper Deck. We are looking for a youngster (boy or girl) to represent Upper Deck at the 2012 NHL All-Star festivities working with the players as a Stick Kid. Former Upper Deck Stick Kids have all claimed this was one of the best experiences of their lives as they came face to face with the greatest stars in the NHL.

Upper Deck Stick Kids serve UD at the NHL All-Star Superskills Challenge and also get great access to the players during the event. It is a dream job for the kid chosen and to have the opportunity to win is not that difficult. Youngsters in the Ottawa area simply need to submit an essay as to why they feel they should be selected as Upper Deck’s Stick Kid for the NHL All-Star Festivities.

We will be taking applications at the Bell Cup and kids can also submit their application to us via e-mail at [email protected] up until Friday, January 13, 2012. Good luck to all those participating!
