Helix Hearing Care Centre, the Official Hearing Care Company of the Ottawa Senators, awards locals with tickets

Hawkesbury, Ontario, November 16, 2009: The Helix Hearing Care Centre in Stittsville recently held a draw in their clinic and gave the winners tickets to Helix's second-level suite at Scotiabank Place. The initiative was in accordance with the company's recent sponsorship of the Ottawa Valley's professional hockey team.

The local winners, Doug Perrin, Kevin O'Kane, Jeannie Meunier, Sam Zakaria, and James Walker, attended the November 10th game against Edmonton, and enjoyed watching the Senators win in a shoot-out. The winners were handpicked at the Helix clinic by Stittsville-Kanata West Councillor Shad Qadri.

Helix's relationship with the Ottawa Senators marks the first time that the hockey team has been represented by a hearing care company.

"We are proud and very excited to be working with the Ottawa Senators," said Jeffrey Geigel, President of Helix Hearing Care Centre. "Our goal is that we can collectively bring the importance of proper hearing healthcare to the forefront of this community and the importance of receiving an annual hearing test. Our hearing affects everything we do, in both personal and professional situations."

This new sponsorship is a great opportunity to highlight the importance of healthy hearing in all areas of our lives, including sports. Whether on the ice, on the sidelines, or watching from the comfort of your home, good hearing helps to better experience the game of hockey.
