$50,000 up for grabs in Rivalry Cup Round 4 Shoot Out:
Five lucky fans will have a chance to shoot for $10,000 cash when the Wildcats take on the Saint John Sea Dogs in Round 4 of the Rivalry Cup in Thursday's New Years Eve contest night. Legends Restaurant will be serving food starting at 5, the Coliseum doors will swing wide open at 6 and the puck will drop at 7.
The Sea Dogs lead the Rivalry Cup race 5.5 to the Cats 4.5 points, so it's an all out effort for the Wildcats to jump ahead of the Dogs in the season long competition.
