Toronto Maple Leafs Fans: Enter FanSided's Fan of the Year Contest

Toronto Maple Leafs fans in the USA, are you the biggest sports fan in the country?

If you are, you could represent Toronto Maple Leafs fans around the country as Sports Fan of the Year.

If you can convince FanSided that you are the biggest sports fan in the country, they’ll send you and a guest to New York City to attend the annual Sports Illustrated Sportsperson of the Year event and name you Sports Fan of the Year!

Imagine if the Air Canada Centre was empty. There’s no excitement without fans so FanSided wants needs you to submit your application for Sports Fan of the Year, and we at Editor In Leaf want it to be a Toronto Maple Leafs fan.

The Leafs have more fans spread over the world than any hockey team, so prove you’re the biggest in the country and take down the other major pro sports fans around the United States.

Via FanSided:

Last year, FanSided decided it was finally time to recognize the nameless faces watching from the bleachers when they named Dennis Gleason the inaugural Sports Fan of the Year.

What qualifies someone to be the FanSided Sports Fan of the Year?

From the application page:

“The FanSided Sports Fan of the Year is a person who exemplifies dedication, integrity and “Fansmanship” all for the love of the game.

What is “Fansmanship”? Just as athletes exhibit and strive for good sportsmanship, fans strive to exhibit good Fansmanship.

Good Fansmanship means representing the teams you follow and the communities those teams represent in a positive way at all times thus perpetuating all that is good about sports and sports fandom. Every fan has a story. We want to hear yours.

Be sure to read the full contest rules as restrictions do apply. We can’t wait to start reading/viewing your submissions.” (FanSided)
