Princeton is one of four finalists for the $250,000 Hockeyville prize. If the town wins it will also have the honour of hosting an NHL game.

The town is facing off against Sydney, Nova Scotia, Saint-Jean-Sur-Richelieu, Quebec and Douro-Dummer, Ontario.

Considerable publicity has been attached to the contest, and Coyne acknowledged that must be partly because of the November 2021 flood.
