Your full itinerary for Hometown Hockey weekend
NANAIMO — After months an anticipation, Hometown Hockey is here.
Ron MacLean and Tara Slone’s broadcast will start at 1:30 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 26 at Maffeo Sutton Park but there’s numerous activities before then.
Friday is city-wide Jersey Day. Everyone’s encouraged to show off their hockey passion by wearing their favourite jerseys, no matter what league it’s from.
The action gets underway on Saturday at noon, with live music from indie soul band Lovecoast and autograph signing from retired Canucks goaltender Kirk McLean and defenseman Willie Mitchell, who is from Port McNeill. They’ll be at the park all day.
