For the first time since 2021, there was a winner of the Paul Bunyan Communications Hockey Hot Shots Promotion during a Bemidji State University men’s home hockey game.
Corbin Myhrer of Guthrie made his shot at center ice during the 2nd period intermission at the Beavers game Saturday, October 28 against St. Thomas to win a 70” HD Smart TV. Corbin is 12 years old, attends Bemidji Middle School, and is a Bemidji Youth Hockey player.
“I’ve seen the contest at other Beaver games I’ve gone to and was excited to get chosen to give it a try. It’s harder than it looks but I just let it rip and it went right in!” said Myhrer.
“You would think if you play hockey the odds would be higher you can make the shot but that’s not the case. We’ve had plenty of experienced hockey players through the years who missed, it’s a narrow target to hit from center ice. Corbin’s shot looked good the whole way. He sure has bragging rights among his youth hockey buddies for a while, not to mention a huge TV to enjoy!” said Brian Bissonette, Paul Bunyan Communications Marketing Supervisor.
