WHITEHOUSE STATION, N.J., April 14, 2010 – Quick Chek, the family-operated premier chain of more than 120 food store locations throughout New Jersey and Southern New York, announces today the winners of its Third Annual Devils Night Out Sweepstakes.

            The sweepstakes, which celebrates Quick Chek’s famed coffee as the official coffee of the New Jersey Devils, asked customers to submit an essay stating why they deserved a “Devils Night Out.”  More than 800 essay entries vying for one Devils Night Out grand prize, along with ten runners up prize packages, were received online and in-store between Feb. 22 and March 22.

Chosen for its creativity, originality and compelling nature, the winning entry (inlcuded below) was authored by Dana Nicoletti of North Haledon, N.J., who submitted a poem in tribute to her father who had never been to a New Jersey Devils hockey game.

 I switch on the game on MSG, A very special man is sitting next to me.

He’s not young, not rich, not a celebrity…

But he’s all that and more, much more to me.

 My dad is a kind, generous, selfless man.

I really am his number one fan.

He is one that is always, always willing to help.

Go Devils!  Shoot, shoot… we let out a collective yelp!

 Langenbrunner, Parise take the ice.

To the devils game we go…

Wouldn’t that be nice?

…He has never been to a hockey game…

I passionately write this hopeful plea

To cross off a Bucket List entry…

To fulfill a dream for my Dad and me!

• Free Quick Chek coffee for one year
