I’ve entered the Globe and Mail’s Journalism Dream contest that could send me to the Olympics as a sportswriter. It definitely would be a dream come to true if I could win, but I need your votes to land me in Vancouver 2010. This is likely to be a once in a lifetime experience to cover, capture and experience the Olympics on our home soil.

*Sign up and vote.

You can vote once a day. It would be fantastic if you could vote daily. After the first sign up to vote initially, you simply have to login with email and password to vote on following days.

The contest runs until November 22nd, 2009. With less than a month to go, I’ve got some catching up to do!

***NOTE: One lucky voter will receize a prize package including a laptop and digital camera, so don’t hesitate to vote often!

For my entry, I used a modified shortened version of an article I wrote here at THW – Attack After The Hit – Hockey’s Next Epidemic. Chris Ralph aka "The Hockey Spy"

I really appreciate the support!

Thanks in advance,

Chris
