Rogers Hometown Hockey, Canada’s ultimate touring hockey festival is coming to Langley City.
The city has just been named as one of the 25 communities throughout the 2018-19 season that will host the tour, and its 15th stop is downtown Langley City on Jan. 12-13 of next year.
“Langley City is beyond excited to have an event like Rogers Hometown Hockey in our community,” said Mayor Ted Schaffer.
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 ends with an outdoor viewing party of a national NHL game broadcast hosted live. The national match-up will be Florida versus Vancouver, set for 3:30 p.m.
Langley City will be featured on Rogers Hometown Hockey, the weekly Sunday broadcast available on Sportsnet, and available to stream on Sportsnet NOW and Rogers NHL LIVE.
Live on location, Ron MacLean and Tara Slone will host a pre-game, intermission and post-game show from the Sportsnet Mobile Studio, pointing a spotlight on local culture, hockey history and unique stories of Langley City.
