Im headed to Edmonton late this month for a week to see my son and (hopefully) see my grand daughter get born early.
Once I hit town on the 30th were gonna see every Canada game starting with Finland on the 31st and every one after that.
Jan 5th has the bronze and gold medal games and then i'll be hitting the airport shortly after that for the long trek home.
Weve got great seats as well...lower bowl near the blueline just 9 rows up...cold beers to be had lol.

Wow, Gerard, way cool! I hope you have a great time at the games. I used to watch the WJC games when they would show them on the NHL Network, and really enjoyed them. I only watched Canada's games and the U.S.'s game. I didn't watch the other countries unless they played Canada or the U.S. So you're going to be a Grandpa! Congratulations!  If your son remembers who I am, please tell him hello for me, and give him my congratulations on him becoming a dad. |

Well that was short lived. With attendance being cut to 1/2 and our province adding over 1000 cases in just 2 days we had to pull the plug on it.
For a small place like NS 10+ cases a day was common so this new craziness has basically shut down the entire place and provinces around as well.
Had I even been able to get the Alberta (I had a stop-over in Quebec which is even worse than us) theres a real possibility of being stuck out there.
Right choice or not its a shame to not see my son esp with the little one just weeks away. Yeah, just a bad situation for everyone. Stay safe!!

Sounds like the WJC tournament was just cancelled.
