Kraft Hockeyville is an annual competition sponsored by Kraft Foods, the National Hockey League and the NHL Players' Association in which communities compete to demonstrate their commitment to the sport of ice hockey. The winning community gets a cash prize dedicated to upgrading their local home arena, as well as the opportunity to host an NHL pre-season game. Runners-up also get smaller cash prizes to upgrade their ice rinks. The contest is normally held in the winter and spring during the latter half of the NHL regular season, with the pre-season game usually held in September before the following regular season.
The competition was first held across Canada in 2006 as a reality television series aired by CBC Television, but since 2007, it has been relegated to segments aired during CBC's Hockey Night in Canada. In 2015, Kraft Hockeyville was expanded into the United States, with a separate competition for communities in America; segments of the US contest are aired on the NHL on NBC.
Kraft Foods Group, Inc., was an American manufacturing and processing conglomerate headquartered in the Chicago suburb of Northfield, Illinois.
The company was restructured in 2012 as a spin off from Kraft Foods Inc., which in turn was renamed Mondelēz International. The new Kraft Foods Group was focused mainly on grocery products for the North American market, while Mondelēz is focused on international confectionery and snack brands. Until the merger with Heinz, Kraft Foods Group was an independent public company listed on the NASDAQ stock exchange.
On July 2, 2015, Kraft completed its merger with Heinz, arranged by Heinz owners Berkshire Hathaway and 3G Capital, creating the fifth largest food and beverage company in the world, Kraft Heinz Company.
In August 2011, Kraft Foods Inc. announced plans to split into two publicly traded companies—a snack food company and a grocery company.
On April 2, 2012, Kraft Foods Inc. announced that it had filed a Form 10 Registration Statement to the SEC to split the company into two companies to serve the "North American grocery business."

We've got a fine podcast for you today, folks. Well, it's not so much us as it is Jeremy Roenick. He's good. Roenick, who's busier now than he ever was on the ice, took a few minutes to chat with us about matters both hockey-related and otherwise, including: • Why he now hates to skate (2:00 mark) • How he knew it was time to retire (4:01 mark) • His thoughts on trade deadline winners and whether anyone can challenge the Western Conference (7:25 mark) • And the highlight: his thoughts on social media and the bottom-feeders who pollute it, in connection with the rumors surrounding the Blackhawks' Patrick Sharp. "Social media would have ruined my social life," Roenick says, and he's got little patience for Twitter users who try to talk tough. (9:51 mark) Roenick's also repping Kraft's ...
