Hometown Hockey Makes First Stop in Niagara Falls
Rogers Hometown Hockey made its first stop of the season in Niagara Falls on October 7th & 8th. The weekend featured broadcast hosts Ron MacLean and Tara Slone, meet-and-greet opportunities with former Toronto Maple Leafs player Rick Vaive, and a special performance from multi-platinum-selling Canadian country star Tim Hicks. The hockey-themed weekend also featured games, prize giveaways, activities, and live local entertainment, with many local hockey organizations involved in the event. The free, two-day hockey festival overlooked the falls at Niagara Parks’ Queen Victoria Park, and concluded on Sunday evening following an outdoor viewing party of a National Hockey League game. The evening broadcast on Sunday kicked off with a special pre-game show hosted live on site by MacLean and Slone from the Sportsnet mobile studio beginning at 6:30 p.m. on Sportsnet One and Sportsnet Now followed by a showdown between the Montreal Canadiens and New York Rangers.
