It’s the middle of August, baseball playoff races are heating up, we’re looking forward to training camps opening for various hockey leagues, and overall it’s pretty nice out.
Oh, and there’s a major international hockey tournament happening. But no one told the host city.
Yes, the 2022 World Juniors are being replayed now, after being shutdown two days in December. It’s a hard sell to get even the most diehard fans out for anything in the summer, but dropping a couple grand on a pair of tickets is a big ask, especially with the current economy.
