HOTTEST TICKET IN TOWN

SAINT JOHN – Tickets are selling fast for what could be a historic weekend at Harbour Station.

The Harbour Station website lists ticket availability for Friday’s Saint John Sea Dogs game against the Cape Breton Screaming Eagles and Sunday’s matchup against the PEI Rocket as “limited.” The two contests are the Sea Dogs’ final two games of the 2010-11 Quebec Major Junior Hockey League regular season.

Tickets are still available at this time, though. Seats to both Friday’s 7:30 pm contest and Sunday’s 4:00 pm contest can be purchased at the Harbour Station box office, by phone, or online.

Flex pass holders are reminded that these are the final two games of the year that they can redeem their vouchers to purchase tickets.
The Sea Dogs travel to Prince Edward Island tomorrow night to face the Rocket in what will be the final regular season road game of the year for Canada’s top-ranked team. This game was originally scheduled for December but was postponed.

With a record of 56-6-1-2, Saint John is two wins away from tying the all-time QMJHL record for wins in a single season and three wins away from breaking the mark. Also this weekend, the Sea Dogs will look to complete their home schedule without a loss in regulation time.

NEW NON-SMOKING POLICY AT HS

Harbour Station sent out this email earlier today:

Harbour Station has announced plans to strengthen its non-smoking policy. Effective Jan. 1, 2011, smoking will be prohibited within ten metres (approximately 33 feet) of the building. The new non-smoking regulations are designed to further protect patrons from second-hand smoking exposure. The decision to provide a smoke-free zone outside the building is consistent with practices at most major arenas throughout North America.

“Smoking has been prohibited inside Harbour Station from when we opened 17 years ago,” said Michael Caddell, general manager of the building, in a release. “The decision to provide a smoke-free zone outside the building is consistent with practices at most major arenas throughout North America.”
