The City of Calgary Recreation is celebrating its centennial in 2012. January 1 will kick off the celebrations with an ode to one of our favourite winter pastimes – Hockey Day in Calgary!
Hockey Day in Calgary is the start to a year-long celebration of Calgary’s commitment to providing sport, recreation, art and cultural opportunities. Recreation 100 (REC 100) offers a full year of events and activities that will highlight 12 monthly themes; starting with hockey and skating in January.
Calgarians, young and old, are invited to the Municipal Building and Olympic Plaza on New Year’s Day to celebrate a century of Calgary’s rich recreational landscape. This free, family friendly event starts at 11:00 a.m. with entertainment and public skating. Hockey Day in Calgary will also feature hockey demonstrations, Hockey Hall of Fame memorabilia, hockey-themed art, and a ball hockey tournament with Hockey Canada alumni
The City is proud to host the 2012 IIHF World Junior Hockey Championship – So lace up! Join the excitement and make January your month to share the spirit of hockey and your passion for skating.
