Thousands of tickets still available for World Junior Championship games in Edmonton
Odd summer timing and an ongoing sexual assault scandal at Hockey Canada could be the reason thousands of tickets to the World Junior Hockey Championship are still available on the eve of the tournament, says an Edmonton professor.
“The fact that there are still Team Canada tickets available, that tells you the demand is much lower than it usually is for this kind of event.”The initial 2022 championship in Edmonton and Red Deer, Alta., was called off Dec. 29 after just four days because of rising COVID-19 cases among players and officials, which forced game forfeitures.
Mason said the timing of the games could be why interest is so low. The tournament typically runs over the Christmas holidays. “This time of year, you probably already had plans to go to the lake, go to the mountains or do something summer-related. I don’t think we’re willing to give up those plans to watch hockey.”
“I think there’s people who weren’t sure if they would go or not, and maybe deciding not to go because of that,” Mason said.
