They weren’t there to see the Cirque du Soleil or a magician or a performer like Britney Spears. They went there for a hockey tournament. In July.
“I was around 10, I think,” said Glass. “It was a summer tournament, but it’s pretty much always summer. Just being there and walking down the strip, you don’t get that in Winnipeg. I didn’t really see that as a hockey place when I went there.”
