Single game tickets are now on sale for the World Junior A Challenge, an international hockey showcase that’s being hosted at the Cornwall Civic Complex from December 11th to 18th.
The eight-day tournament will feature some of the world’s top Junior A level hockey players competing for gold in their country’s colours. Two Canadian teams – Canada East and Canada West – will face off against USA, Sweden and Latvia in this heavily-scouted tournament.
“It’s going to be a great week of hockey and fans are in for a real treat,” said Lorne Taillon, chair of the local organizing committee. “It’s a great opportunity to see some storied hockey rivalries right here on home ice.”
Tickets are $10 for the exhibition games, $16 for the preliminary round, $19 for the semi-finals and $20 for the bronze and gold medal games. Fans can save $2 per ticket for group sales of 10 or more to any game.
