The Vancouver Canucks, Ottawa Senators and National Hockey League are crossing their fingers for clear skies in Vancouver next March as BC Place hosts the Heritage Classic. The NHL is hosting six outdoor games this season, with Vancouver’s date coming on March 2nd, 2014.
The words “outdoor game” and “Vancouver” may be an odd couple in a city known for its rainy winters, but with BC Place’s retractable roof fans are assured that the game will go ahead regardless of weather. Open roof or not, the Heritage Classic is sure to be an impressive spectacle given the over 59,000 seats at BC Place slated to be filled. This marks the first time that either team has been involved in an outdoor game.
Tickets to the Heritage Classic between the Canucks and Senators went on presale today, and can now be ordered through ShowTimeTickets.com. Don’t miss the first-ever outdoor NHL game in Vancouver this March – buy your Heritage Classic tickets today!
Late Sunday night, the National Hockey League released the game and broadcast schedule for the conference quarterfinal round of the 2013 Stanley Cup Playoffs. The puck drops on Tuesday, April 30th as matchups begin between Chicago/Minnesota, Anaheim/Detroit and St. Louis/Los Angeles.
As for the four Canadian teams in action, the Vancouver Canucks (3rd) kick things off at home on Wednesday as they host the San Jose Sharks (6th). Despite a trend of dominance in years past, the Sharks have had the edge in head-to-head play in this abbreviated season, winning all three regular season games (2 in regulation, one in a shootout). Both teams will have a lot to prove going into the playoffs.
On Thursday, the other three Canadian teams get going on their series, with an all-Canadian matchup between the Ottawa Senators (7th) and Montreal Canadiens (2nd) at the Bell Centre, and an Original Six series between the Boston Bruins (4th) and Toronto Maple Leafs (5th).
