The Weyburn Chamber of Commerce and the Weyburn Red Wings announced that the Montreal Canadiens Alumni Tour, presented by Canadian Tire, will make a stop at Crescent Point Place on Friday, December 1 at 7:30 p.m.
“We are delighted to be partnering with the Montreal Canadiens Alumni and the Weyburn Red Wings to bring this unique event to Weyburn, as it is a great way to wrap up Canada’s 150th and it clearly confirms Weyburn’s status as the 5th best place to live in Canada”, said Twila Walkeden, executive director of the Weyburn Chamber of Commerce.
There will be chances to hangout all game with the Montreal Canadiens Alumni Team with three Thrill of a Lifetime opportunities — one, to be assistant coach and the other, to play with the Montreal Canadiens Alumni Team. For this investment, the Thrill of a Lifetime participant will get to keep the Canadiens Jersey that they will wear (and get it autographed), plus tickets to the VIP Reception prior to the game. Any residents, who are interested in hanging out in the dressing room and playing with some NHL greats, can contact the Weyburn Red Wings. Just remember, you have to know how to play hockey. There is also a chance to play hockey and strap on skates to go head-to-head with an NHL Player. This opportunity is open to residents who are 35 years old, and know how to play hockey. For more information, interested residents can contact the Weyburn Red Wings office to add their name to the list as a potential opposition player. “Come and watch NHL talent on the ice in Weyburn. It’s a great opportunity to see NHL players in our city playing against guys we know. Let’s see how we stack up against the skill of the Montreal Canadiens Alumni players,” commented Brent Stephanson, president of the Weyburn Red Wings.
For any residents who want the chance to meet the Montreal Canadiens Alumni Team, they can check out the VIP Tickets. This ticket allows interested participants the exclusive access into the VIP reception prior to the game. Inside the reception, fans will have an opportunity to meet the players, have photos taken and get autographs. VIP seats are located behind the Montreal Canadiens’ team bench, allowing fans the experience of getting up close with the players and coaches. These tickets are limited in number.
For the chance to come on out to see some NHL greats in action and cheer on the local players, tickets will go on sale on Friday, September 1 for $20 plus taxes. Tickets will be available online or at the Red Wings box office. This all-star sporting spectacle will provide a chance for all Weyburn and area residents to see some of the best players in the Montreal Canadien’s history.
The tickets will be a hot item and would make a great customer appreciation, staff appreciation or early Christmas gift. For this exciting one-time experience, there are also two exclusive large rooms available for that “corporate box” feeling. They will accommodate that group of friends, staff or clients that want to create a great experience for. Interested groups should contact the Red Wings Office if they are interested in one of these rooms.
More details on the full roster of players representing the Montreal Canadiens Alumni Team, will be announced in the coming weeks. The Montreal Canadiens Alumni Team will be composed of some of the Habs’ most beloved players.
