TORONTO – Rogers is once again gearing up to take “Canada's ultimate touring hockey festival” on the road, unveiling the fifth Rogers Hometown Hockey Tour that will touch down in 25 communities throughout the 2018-19 NHL season.
The free family-friendly hockey celebration features two days of live entertainment, NHL alumni, local celebrities and hockey-themed activities for all ages. Running from Saturday through to Sunday evening, the festival culminates with an outdoor viewing party of a national NHL game broadcast hosted live by Ron MacLean and Tara Slone on Sportsnet.
The fifth season of Rogers Hometown Hockey premieres in Kitchener, ON, on October 5-7, featuring a festive celebration of the 50th anniversary of Oktoberfest and an Original Six showdown between the Toronto Maple Leafs and Chicago Blackhawks. Later that month, the hockey festival marks its 100th episode milestone in London, ON – the stop that started it all five seasons ago. The tour also hits the hometown of Bobby Orr, Parry Sound, ON, climbs the mountains of Whistler, BC, and makes a return to Newfoundland and Labrador for a visit to Mount Pearl.
