Hockey in August
by David on 2022-08-18Rogers Place - EdmontonThe bad. Price of tickets was high, which deterred many that otherwise would have gone to the game. 4:00 PM start time not ideal, but understand that Eastern time Zone influences were greater than that have people actually going to the game. It was 30 degrees and my favourite treat inside the arena, an ice cream float that is usually sold behind Section 112 was unavailable because the concession stand did not open. The good. Canada won. Bedard and McTavish scored goals on NHL calibre shots. It was worth going to the game because of the usual marquee that goes with Christmas season that makes tickets to Canada games hard or near impossible to get.
