Happy New Year, everyone! I hope all of you had a great holiday and had a bit of R&R over the holidays. I sure did, and now I’m ready to get back to everything! Did anyone catch any of the great hockey action over the holidays? I caught the Flames/Oilers game on New Year’s eve; what an excellent Battle of Alberta!
The Calgary Motorcycle Show and the Roughnecks’ home opener highlight some of the events happening on Park in the next seven days, so let’s take a closer look at What’s Happening this week!
The WHL’s Calgary Hitmen have two games this week at the Pengrowth Saddledome, one against the Kootenay Ice on Thursday, Jan. 7 at 7 p.m. and the other on Saturday, Jan. 9 at 7 p.m. against the Vancouver Giants. Tickets for both games are available through Ticketmaster.
Meanwhile, the NHL’s Calgary Flames play the Columbus Blue Jackets at the Saddledome on Friday, Jan. 8 at 7 p.m. Get your tickets through Ticketmaster.
A new year brings a new season of lacrosse! After a successful season last year, the NLL’s Calgary Roughnecks are hoping for a repeat performance this year. If you’ve never been to a lacrosse game before, you should definitely check one out! The atmosphere is electric and I guarantee you’ll have a great time! It is, after all, one of Canada’s official national sports. The Roughnecks’ home opener is on Sunday, Jan. 10 at 3 p.m. against the Minnesota Swarm at the Saddledome. Tickets for the Roughneck’s home opener are available through Ticketmaster.
Anyone interested in motorcycles? Want to buy one perhaps? Learn about the different types or see some riders perform some crazy stunts? Then this show is for you! The Calgary Motorcycle Show (Jan. 8-10, 2010) is for everyone from the hardcore to the learners. BMO Centre Corral, Halls A-D. Tickets available at the door or in advance from participating motorcycle dealerships.
That’s about it for this week. Tune into the Stampede Blog next week where we’ll highlight some more of the things happening Here. All Year.
