The NHL is running a Bracket Challenge on its website, offering a number of different prizes for the winners. Prizes include a trip to the NHL Awards, a bubble hockey table (WANT) and gift cards for the NHL store.

Hey, something for everyone.

A reader suggested starting a league in the comments, and we thought it’d be fun to give it a shot. Here’s what you need to do:

  1. Go to the Bracket Challenge webpage.
  2. Sign into your NHL.com account, or create one if you don’t have one already (it’s free).
  3. Once you’re signed in, scroll down to “Find a League” and click that button.
  4. On the next page, you’ll see a bunch of leagues from Adidas, Bridgestone, etc. Those aren’t as cool as ours. At the top right of that page, you’ll see a spyglass search icon. Click that.
  5. Type “Chowder” in the search bar and press enter.
  6. Choose the middle on, “League of Chowder.” You can try clicking that link too, it might let you skip the steps above.
  7. Click “Enter Password” and type in “Chowder.” Very secure.
  8. You’re in! Fill out you’re bracket and we’re good to go.

We’ll do our best to keep track and pick a winner from that group.

The winner will get something we’ve had for a while now: a TD Garden print from Ballpark Blueprints.

You can click here to get dimensions and all that stuff, but this thing is pretty sweet. Perfect for an office, living room, man/woman cave, etc. It won’t come framed though, WE’RE NOT MADE OF MONEY.

If we’ve got a tie, I still have a copy of “Count the Rings” I could give away too.

Anyways, fill out your bracket and let’s get to it! Thanks to SCOC reader David for setting it up.
