Festivities planned at Ship Point on Jan. 20
Scotiabank Hockey Day in Canada 2024 on Jan. 20 was confirmed for the capital when Hockey Night in Canada host Ron MacLean made the official announcement from Las Vegas during Monday’s broadcast on Sportsnet of Game 2 of the Stanley Cup final.
“Kids in this country grow up dreaming about playing in the NHL and playing for the Stanley Cup,” said Geoff Courtnall. MacLean will host the Hockey Day in Canada broadcast from the Inner Harbour and said it brought back memories of doing the same as co-host with Brian Williams for CBC’s coverage of the 1994 Victoria Commonwealth Games.
Since outdoor skating in the capital is a rare occurrence, a feature of the festivities will be the $100,000, 24x12-metre synthetic skating rink with boards that will be brought to Ship Point and will host youth hockey games during the week. The rink will remain with the Victoria Hockey Legacy Society, which envisions use such as on future Canada Days. The synthetic skating surface has an expected lifespan of 30 years, 15 years on one side and another 15 on the flipside.
