Hockey: Event and Everybody

hockey: What it does is it puts everybody united and supporting something, said Ron Toigo, majority owner of the WHL Vancouver Giants and co-chair of the 2019 host committee, according to Guelph Mercury. You put on an international event of this magnitude, everybody wearing Canadian jerseys, everybody proud about being a Canadian. Hockey Canada and the Canadian Hockey League announced the tournament return to British Columbia on Thursday during a press conference at Rogers Arena. It a real good event for the community and the economy. I can only hope the energy and the synergy that we feel today is at plus-10 when we put this event on, said Hockey Canada president and CEO Tom Renney. The tournament in Vancouver and Victoria will mark the 13th time Canada has hosted the world juniors. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
