Kraft Hockeyville has chosen Pense as one of the community finalists under consideration for a pre-season National Hockey League game and $250,000 in upgrades.

Moose Jaw had also put together a bid for the honour but was not chosen. 

Pense will be up against Saint-Felicien, Quebec, Tyne Valley P.E.I. and Twillingate, Newfoundland and Labrador.

“After a very difficult deliberation and an unexpected delay brought on by COVID-19, we are pleased to announce the Top 4 finalists and look forward to once again seeing the incredible support of Canadians as they rally behind the remaining communities,” said Matt Bruce, senior brand manager for Kraft Heinz Canada in a media release.   

All four finalists will get a cash injection of $25,000 for arena upgrades and $10,000 for their minor hockey programs.

The final choice will be up to voters. But voters are asked by Kraft Heinz to encourage each other with window and lawn signs in the pandemic era. 

"Kraft Hockeyville reminds Canadians to continue to adhere to all COVID-19 health and safety protocols that may be required or recommended by federal, state, provincial or local authorities in their respective jurisdictions, which may include social distancing guidelines, limitations on large gatherings, and mask-wearing," the media release said. 

Voting will start online Aug.14 at 7 a.m. Saskatchewan time and go to 4 p.m. Aug. 15. The site that has been chosen will be revealed on a Hockey Night in Canada game that evening.
