The winner of the 2022 NHL Playoff Hockey Pool was awarded his winner’s cheque on July 9 at Laketown Furnishings.

Garnet Chelsea’s hockey pool picks netted him first place and $500 in winnings.

The contest, sponsored by the Williams Lake Tribune and Cariboo Ski Source for Sports, ended in June and Chelsea was able to connect on the weekend to collect his winnings.

Chelsea picked up his winning cheque from Bob Sunner and Mark Hamm of Williams Lake’s Community Policing.

Chelsea said he had played the pool for many years, and has won a couple of minor prizes but this is his first time winning the top spot.
