To help promote "hockey readiness" in Newark’s youngsters, all children who live or go to school in Newark in grades 1 through 8 are invited to create their own hockey story, real or imagined, using 200 words or fewer, with the theme, "Newark, Hockey and Me." The hockey story can be a play, a poem, a story, a diary or a wordless story of pictures or photographs promoting the relationship among the New Jersey Devils, the Newark community, and the kids themselves.

The individual personality of the author is what makes the story creative and original. Click here for all of the information on participating in the hockey story contest, which runs from September 18 through December 9, 2006.
