The Columbus Blue Jackets do that and a few years back our youngest won. He got to sit on the CBJ bench in warmups, lower bowl tickets, a home jersey, team signed stick, a few pucks from warmups given to him by Jacket players, and ride on the Zamboni after the first period. He also ended up on the jumbotron a few times. Lucky kid, I don't think I've won a darned thing myself.
