UPDATE: Congratulations to our winners, Jeff Johnstone, Corey Vachon, Jack Sciortino, Mauro Giurleo and Walter (last name to come!). They have all won a spot for themselves and 4 of their friends, including supper on The Franchise and a chance at many, many great prizes!!

Thanks to all who entered, we appreciate the support and look forward to putting on another event in the near future! will YOU be there??

Please note that this event IS open to the public and you can still join in the festivities by simply showing up at Brasserie Sports 40, paying the 10$ cover and being part of the fun!  portions of the entry got to "Team in Training" charities and also give you a chance at the great prizes up for draw!

It’s that time of the hockey season again folks…that’s right, it’s time for a hockey party.

So, without further ado, The Franchise and HabsAddict.com are proud to announce our “Guaranteed Win Night”. Why a guaranteed win? Because if the Habs lose, you don’t!

That’s right, come out and watch the Canadiens take on the Rangers with us, Nov. 5, 2011 at Brasserie Sports 40 and if the Habs lose you’ll get a coupon for free chicken wings.

Does is get better than that?

Yes, it does, you can actually win entry into this party for you and four of your friends, including dinner, a beverage and a bunch of other prizes!

Hard to believe The Franchise has been on Montreal’s Sports Authority-THE TEAM990, every Saturday and Sunday for 2 years already!

This past weekend marked our 2^nd anniversary and we took some time during Sunday’s show to thank some of the many people who have joined us, encouraged us, helped us, supported us or just plain helped us out over that span.

We tried to rack our brains as MANY people contribute to make The Franchise the show that it is, so we hope we didn’t forget anyone.. We have NO problem adding names if we’ve made a mistake!

Bottom Line: THANKS to all of you for impacting us and our show in one way or another! We owe a big part of our success to YOU! Hope to be speaking to all of you in year 3!

The Franchise: Gary Whittaker, Nick Murdocco.
