Bridgestone, The Official Tire of the NHL and the NHLPA (National Hockey League Players Association) is launching a promotion, Bridgestone Greatest NHL Captains.

The promotion gives fans who vote on NHL.com for the greatest NHL captains of the past four decades a chance to win a trip to the All Star Game plus merchandise.

In addition, Bridgestone will present programming and content via the NHL Network and NHL.com. Bridgestone will also sponsor a 20-part original series, "Captains Driven By Bridgestone," on the NHL Network (for the U.S. and Canada) from November 2008 through April 2009.

The promotion will culminate with the greatest captains of each decade being announced in a special tribute during the NHL SuperSkills competition on Saturday, Jan. 24 at the Bell Centre in Montreal during the NHL All-Star Weekend. --Karl Greenberg
