Winning a Ford F-150 Has Never Been Easier

OK, we lied. It couldn’t be harder to win a free Ford F-150, but this lady with absolutely no hockey experience made some of the NHL’s best sharpshooters look like amateurs.

This story has been blowing up on the internet and we couldn’t help but share it too.

59-year-old Brenda Hewlett had visited Frenchie’s Ford (the dealership giving away the truck) a few days earlier to get service work done on her failing truck. While talking to the Service Manager, Joe Jock, Brenda said, “I wish I could afford a new truck, mine is falling apart”. Joe gave her the ballot in which she could enter for a chance to win the new truck. Check out Jalopnik for more of the back-story.

Brenda, who has apparently never held a hockey stick, made an amazing shot to win a Ford F-150. The shot was from the far blue line, 3/4 of the rink away from the net (114 feet). The shot becomes even more impressive when you take into account that the net was completely blocked except for a small, puck-sized hole in the dead center.

The actual shot comes in at around the 1 minute mark, but the 60 seconds leading up to it gives you an idea of just how improbable it was.
