AT HOCKEY DAY IN NAVAN ON FEBRUARY 27

***

A Top Contender In The KRAFT Hockeyville 2011 Competition,
Navan Will Host CBC Television As They Capture Lola’s
Performance, Special Images And Stories Highlighting
100 Years Of Hockey History And Love Of The Sport

Navan’s own pop singer-songwriter Lola Spriggs shows her hometown pride and love for hockey as she returns to the Navan Memorial Centre to perform the Canadian National Anthem along with catchy, feel-good songs from her latest EP Nobody But You at Hockey Day in Navan on Sunday, February 27.

Kicking off at 9 a.m., the family-friendly event is a special occasion for Lola’s native Navan, as the town is in the running to compete as one of Kraft Hockeyville’s top Canadian communities to win a spot on the Canadian reality television series, Kraft Hockeyville 2011. CBC Television Network will head to the small town in Ontario to capture some of the many stories shared by Navan’s loyal hockey fans. The top 10 finalists, with two communities being chosen from the province of Ontario, will be announced on March 8 at 9 p.m. Eastern on CBC.

If Navan garners enough votes, the community will also be rewarded with $100,000 dedicated to upgrading the local home arena, a Hockey Night in Canada local broadcast, and an NHL pre-season game hosted in their community arena.

Lola previously took the stage at Navan’s 150^th Anniversary celebration on January 9 where she generously donated all CD sales from the day to a local special needs family. The hometown hero is also set to perform at the Girls’ Night Out event for the ladies of the Royal Ottawa Golf Club on February 24.

The songstress earned two Hollywood Music In Media Awards (HMMA) nominations for Best Pop Song (“I Wanna Love You”) and Best Adult Contemporary/AAA Song (“Nobody But You”) last fall.  Rounding out an incredible year, Lola earned a prominent mention of her second single “I Wanna Love You” in Peter Simpson’s The Big Beat List: 10 Local Songs From 2010, which was published in the Ottawa Citizen. Simpson penned that the track could make the “Ottawa area single mom a pop star.”

“Nobody But You” also placed in the Top 100 on the USA FMQB’s AC 2010 Year End Chart, just ahead of proven superstars Uncle Kracker/Kid Rock, Michael Buble and Miley Cyrus.
