Top Things to Do
Curling & Hockey in Medicine Hat
Curling in Alberta? Well of course. Often the host of the Tim Hortons Brier, Alberta is home to many curling clubs, venues and accomplished curling leagues.
Visitors to Medicine Hat – an Alberta city set in the southeastern region of the province – can attest to the enthusiasm residents and travelers hold for this intense sport.
Recent host of the Canada Cup of Curling, Medicine Hat is also home to the Medicine Hat Curling Club, Medicine Hat Family Leisure Centre, and the Medicine Hat Arena.
When you decide to visit Medicine Hat, check the calendar for annual bonspiels held at the Medicine Hat Curling Club at the corner of Second Street Southeast and Ash Avenue Southeast.
Catch the Yuletide Bonspiel in late December, or the Alberta Junior Championships in early January. No matter the league you’re cheering for, the Medicine Hat Curling Club have you covered during your time in southern Alberta.
Another icy attraction of Gas City is the Medicine Hat Tigers – known to roar their way through the Western Hockey League. Members of the central division of the eastern conference, the Medicine Hat Tigers have won five WHL League Championships and two national Memorial Cups. Known to sell out the Medicine Hat Arena, the Tigers are yet another example of how Alberta knows hockey.
Hockey in Calgary
For some intense hockey in Alberta, Calgary has your answer. Home to the Calgary Flames of the NHL and Calgary Hitmen of the WHL, Cowtown knows a thing or two about slipping one past the goaltender.
Head to the Scotiabank Saddledome and catch the Calgary Flames heat up the Northwest Division of the Western Conference. These Stanley Cup champions delight hockey fans with on –the-ice action – especially against neighbours and rivals, the Edmonton Oilers.
Keep an eye out for Harvey the Hound – the first mascot of the NHL – and be sure to take a stroll through the 20,000-seat Saddledome.
Don’t stray too far from the Saddledome – as tempting at the city of Calgary may be. Yet another Cowtown hockey team is the Calgary Hitmen – members of the Central Division of the Western Hockey League.
This championship-winning team also draws hockey fans to ice of the Saddledome. Put together your best red and brown outfit, and catch these Western Hockey League champions right in the heart of Stampede City.
