Chevrolet Traverse Million Dollar Shootout
Four lucky hockey fans, including 56-year-old Rick Abbott, guaranteed themselves a memorable New Year, as they each took home a brand new 2009 Chevrolet Traverse Crossover as part of the third annual, international award-winning million-dollar giveaway, the Chevrolet Traverse Million Dollar Shootout. The event was televised live nationally on TSN during the first intermission of the 2009 IIHF WORLD JUNIOR CHAMPIONSHIP round-robin game featuring Canada vs. USA.
Rick, a resident of Quesnel, B.C., was joined by two shooters – son Derek Abbott, 21, and longtime family friend Owen Kirby, 23 – at centre ice, where they each had 15 seconds to shoot 10 pucks into an open net. Their combined 16 goals scored were enough for the trio, plus a randomly selected World Juniors tournament attendee, to each win a Chevrolet Traverse Crossover, for a total of four vehicles given away.
Rick also had the chance to shoot for $1 million. He scored 13 goals into an open net from the far blue line in 24 seconds, falling two short of the required 15 goals to win the $1 million prize in a one-time payout.
