After five years of Munch Madness celebrating our amazing local restaurants, we’re switching things up and turning the spotlight to U18 sports teams right here in Sarnia-Lambton. This does NOT include school teams. Please see the Rules & Regulations for all the details.
It’s the same bracket-style fun you know and love just with a brand-new hometown champion. We see you at the rink, in the gym, on the mats, and in the stands and we’re ready to celebrate the hard work, dedication, and heart behind every season. Parents, players, coaches: This is your moment!
Nominate your team below for their chance at a spot in the bracket. Registration closes at 12pm on Friday, March 13th. The more nominations a team receives, the better seed they’ll receive, so spread the word!
Once all nominations are in and accounted for, the official bracket will be announced and voting will begin.
