Hockey Game: Game and Ceremony

hockey game: It will be the first citizenship ceremony ever at a junior hockey game in the west, according to the team, according to CTV. We're thrilled to help welcome newcomers to Saskatoon and use this beautiful game to make them feel more a part of the community, Blades president Steve Hogle said in a media release. The junior hockey team is hosting a citizenship ceremony Jan. 22 at the Sask Tel Centre, during a game against the Swift Current Broncos. The ceremony is part of the team's Welcome to the World event, which brings hundreds of newcomers to the arena to take in the game and try out skating. This is a tradition that is very important to Canada and our country, but it's also a way to have fun in the winter, which is a big part of life in Saskatoon, Mayor Charlie Clark said during a press conference outside the Saskatoon Open Door Society on Tuesday. Almost 400 newcomers attended last year's game. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
