Hockey fans on Vancouver Island will have a chance to cheer on their favourite team in a stadium setting this weekend.
The Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre (SOFMC) is hosting an NHL playoffs viewing party as the Vancouver Canucks face off against the Edmonton Oilers in game six of the second round this Saturday, May 18.
SOFMC has teamed up with the Victoria Royals Hockey Club to put on the ticketed event for the public, which costs $10 per person and will see sales benefit the Moose Hide Campaign, “a non-profit organization helping raise awareness about gender-based violence on Vancouver Island and across the nation.”
They say doors to the venue at 1925 Blanshard St. will open one hour before puck drop at 4 p.m., with a tentative 5 p.m. PT face-off time for the Canucks road game.
Alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, as well as food, will be available for purchase, according to SOFMC.
It’s encouraging people to come out and “experience a family-friendly NHL playoffs atmosphere right on the island!”
Tickets are on sale now via this website.
