This won’t be news for those who have been there, but the Kootenay ICE and Calgary Hitmen’s Western Hockey League playoff series has been amazing! End-to-end rushes, great scoring plays and incredible emotion – both on the ice and in the stands.

It’s been a challenging year for our ICE, battling injuries and Tim Bozon’s recent fight with meningitis. Yet the team made the playoffs for the 16th year in a row and are now in an epic battle in the first round.

As I write this, the series is tied at two games each, and the team is on the way to Calgary for a game on Thursday night. On Saturday the teams are back here at Western Financial Place for a 7 p.m. start.

If you’ve ever loved hockey or have thought about it, you have to be there! Let’s fill the rink so everyone watching the game on Shaw TV across Western Canada (thank you Shaw!) can see just how much we appreciate and support our Kootenay ICE!

Thanks, and I’ll see you there!
