The Town of Bashaw has entered their name for 2017 Kraft Hockeyville.

The town created a video called "So God Made a Hockey Mom" as part of their entry that has gone viral, and they hope it will lead to the Kraft judges selecting them as finalists.

Community Member Jackie Northey who nominated her town says it was no disrespect to the hockey dads, or grandparents, but for this particular project they wanted to pay homage to their hardworking hockey moms.

"Because in our community there is a lot of moms that not only get their kids on the ice, but they're also the ones that are kind of the foundation of the program. They're often the managers of the teams, they're the ones doing the fundraising, or the ones doing the planning for things like tournaments. So it was just a way of acknowleding them, and they've been the backbone in our community."

With one of the most unique entries so far, Bashaw's God Made a Hockey Mom video has gone viral, with over 370,000 people from across the country having watched their ode to hockey Moms.

Northey says building a new arena worth millions of dollars just isn't realistic for Bashaw, so the $100,000 awarded to the Hockeyville winner would be a big boost.

"That's a lot of bake sales to raise that kind of money for what needs to happen, and when you're in a small community like we are with 800 people, we need to look for unique ways to fundraise. So when Kraft Hockeyville came up we looked over what the judges are looking for in our community, and we just used the best of what we had."

The video was created by three community members. Sarah Wray, Ben Wilson, and Shannon Scofield. Who have experience making videos.

The top 10 finalists will now be selected by a panel of Kraft Judges.

Northey hopes that if they're selected as a finalist they'll have the voting support of the Province.

"We're hoping for all of Alberta to rally behind us. Bashaw's a really unique town, with a lot of community pride developed over the last few years. So we've already got a social media network built and we hope we can continue with that."

Northey says they'd put the money towards fixing the roof, players benches and boards among other smaller fixes. So it can be used for years to come.
