Ian McSorley was named The BMO Ultimate Fan at a contest held at the Barrhaven Town Centre branch on Jan. 16.
The contest was held at the Barrhaven Town centre and the win puts McSorley in a draw with other BMO ultimate fans from across the locales in the OHL for a chance to win a trip for two to the 2012 Memorial Cup - to be held in Shawinigan, Que.
The contest marks the branch's new, four-year partnership with the Canadian Hockey League, including the OHL and its member teams.
The three finalists, all decked out in their 67's best, were chosen by a panel of judges: 67's players Tyler Toffoli, Shane Price, Dalton Smith and Marc-Anthony Zanetti. The trio of contestants was then tested with trivia questions provided by the team.
"The contest is a great opportunity for BMO to deepen its relationship with the community through our shared passion for hockey," said BMO district vice president Janet Peddigrew. "I'd like to thank all the enthusiastic fans that showed up...and congratulations to Ian for proving himself as the BMO Ultimate Ottawa 67's Fan."
The ultimate fan contests are happening in 41 cities across the country.
