The event promoters of one of Christchurch’s biggest events for 2011 firmly believe in the city and have just announced that the awesome International Ice Hockey USA vs Canada game on 30 July 2011 will go ahead as planned!

The International Ice Hockey USA vs Canada three-game series brings the biggest hockey events New Zealand has ever seen to the country, and event promoter Craig Douglas reckons Christchurch is perfectly capable of hosting the event: “I do not care if I have to fly [the American tour directors] in one hour before the game and out again after. If Prince William felt safe then so should they!” Christchurch’s CBS Canterbury Arena escaped the earthquake unscathed and will proudly host the International Ice Hockey USA vs Canada action sport game.

The game will be a real American ice hockey experience with all the bells and whistles. Live American commentators, extreme sound and lighting, big-screen TVs, flame throwers, world-class entertainment and action replays plus an ice floor shipped all the way from the Netherlands promise to make the International Ice Hockey USA vs Canada a spectacle not to be missed.

So go on and put those shovels down to book your seat for the game! Tickets are available via the official International Ice Hockey USA vs Canada website.
