The team with the most blood donations at the end of the regular season will be the Blood Donor Champion. The Storm vs. Rangers Blood Donor Challenge is made possible through the collaboration of the Guelph Storm, Kitchener Rangers, and Canadian Blood Services.

Regardless of who wins, the true ultimate champions are the patients across the country that will be able to rely on a stable blood supply whenever blood is needed.
