What could be more Canadian than the above headline? Nothing, that’s what, unless Don Cherry dressed as a beaver while eating a beer flavoured Timbit. On that note we attended the media opening of Molson Canadian Hockey House today. If it’s always been your dream to watch Olympic hockey in a big tent decorated to resemble the third nicest CFD chain in Abbotsford, while drinking terrible beer you are going to love Molson’s self described “cathedral to hockey”. If you stump for a VIP pass, at only $450 you get to eat food catered by famous Canadian chef Wolfgang Puck. (The irony of the caterer section is so rich in light of the brand of Molson’s largest product line that it defies belief. Maybe their prime criteria was someone with a hockey-centric last name.) It’s hard to believe they had to slash ticket prices to attract the punters with all that on offer. You do get free nightly concerts though. There’s no info on the website as to how much tickets are to an area where you don’t have to hear The Barenaked Ladies however.
