WELCOME TO HOCKEY DAY

Proud to bring you Scotiabank Hockey Day

Sportsnet is proud to host the 23rd edition of Scotiabank Hockey Day in Canada from Owen Sound, Ontario. We would like to thank Scotiabank, the City of Owen Sound and its hockey community, and all the event volunteers for bringing this great event to life.

The Grey Bruce region has a rich hockey history, and it is a privilege to shine a spotlight on Owen Sound as we share its stories on our live national broadcast.

On behalf of all of Sportsnet, thank you for being part of our celebration of Canada's game.

Hockey for all: Building community with Canada's game

There’s something special about hockey, from the backyard pond to the professional stage, from when the first blade glides across the ice in the morning to when the arena lights shut off at the end of the day. And that something special is why hockey is so important to us at Scotiabank.

It’s about building community, it’s about creating new friendships, it’s about teamwork, it’s about sportsmanship. And it is for everyone. That’s why Canada and Canadians rally around the game and that’s why we’re proud to be bringing Scotiabank Hockey Day in Canada to Owen Sound this year.

Over the next few days, let’s safely enjoy events and celebrations for everyone, regardless of skill level or background. We’re proud of our partnerships that have helped bring this together, and we’re proud that there has been one constant theme: hockey is for all. Thank you to everyone that has worked to bring Scotiabank Hockey Day in Canada to life. Get ready Owen Sound, the celebration is about to begin!

Laura Curtis Ferrera, Chief Marketing Officer, Scotiabank

Welcome to the region!

It is an honour, as Mayor of the City of Owen Sound, to welcome you to our region and our home. It is truly a once-in-a-lifetime privilege to host the entire nation for the 2023 Scotiabank Hockey Day in Canada! Our community has a rich hockey history and an active sports community. Hockey is in our blood. People show up at all hours to watch the greatest sport ever created. Whether it is pond hockey, road hockey, house league, junior league, or professional, we are there cheering the players and teams along.

I would like to extend my sincere thanks to Sportsnet and Scotiabank for bringing Scotiabank Hockey Day in Canada to the City of Owen Sound. I would also like to thank Bruce Power for their support of the event and our community. To have such a prestigious event in our region is extremely exciting!

I would also like to thank our staff and members of our Local Organizing Committee, and the many community volunteers. You have all been our true champions working diligently together to ensure that everyone experiences a great winter family hockey event.

Whether you are a long-time resident, a visitor, or new to this area, we trust you will experience the warmth and hospitality for which we are known.

Together, let us celebrate and enjoy the games and events over the next few days.
