The 2nd annual Brunswick News Rivalry Cup Challenge will include a few new modifications this season. The challenge was created by the Saint John Sea Dogs to see who, they or the rival Moncton Wildcats, could draw more fans to a game. Moncton won the inaugural contest.
Here are the rules for the 2009-10 Brunswick News Rivalry Cup:
1) Head-to-head, on-ice: Two (2) points for a regulation/overtime win, One (1) point for an overtime/shootout loss. Each team can amass a maximum of sixteen points.
2) Attendance (at all four home games): One-half (0.5) point for 70% capacity, one (1) point for 80% capacity, two (2) points for 90% capacity, three (3) points for 100% capacity. Each team can amass a maximum of twelve points.
3) Holiday Food Drive:five (5) points for city which collects the most non-perishable food items during the annual New Year’s Eve/January 2 home-and-home series.
4) Mascot Challenge: Two home-and-home intermission events; one (1) point for each victory. Four points total up for grabs.
5) Road Trip Challenge: two (2) points for whichever group of fans visit the opposing team’s arena (wearing their Wildcats/Sea Dogs) apparel is larger on a designated night (TBD). Fans will go on parade on opposing rink’s ice surface as they are counted by opposing team delegates.

Moncton will be host to the annual New Years game at 7:00 pm. The two teams rotate venues each season. It will be interesting to see the attendance for a 7:00 pm New Years game with other New Years events, and the Canada vs USA World Junior tilt on the same night.
