LONDON, ON – CBC Hockey Night in Canada’s annual street hockey tournament ‘Play On!’ will take to a street near you starting this May.
Open to boys, girls, men and women of all ages and skill levels, the event bills itself as the “nation’s largest annual sports festival”. Since its inception in 2003, more than 300,000 Canadians have taken part across the country through one of the thirty-five events held to date.
This year’s events will be held over the full course of a weekend in St. John’s, NL; Halifax, NS; Moncton, NB; Montreal, QC; Ottawa, ON; Oshawa, ON; Toronto, ON; Hamilton, ON; London, ON; Winnipeg, MB; Regina, SK; Saskatoon, SK; Calgary, AB; Edmonton, AB; Kelowna, BC; and Vancouver, BC. Approximately 25 rinks will be operated at all times over a kilometre of street during the course of each event.
Winners and finalists in the elite male and female divisions will compete for the ‘Redwood Cup’ as part of CBC’s Hockey Day in Canada next February.
