They are doing the Novice event after the completion of the Senior and Junior events. For most of the fans, it will be the Thursday through Sunday - Jan. 6-9, 2022.
I love that area! Great restaurants and shopping you can walk too.
This year we are actually having a not so bad winter.Such a lovely warm time of year to visit Ottawa.
Wear your warm woolies peeps!
Ottawa! Do it! Poutine and beaver tails, what's not to like?
I thought that was a great location too. There were about 20 places to eat in the plaza right outside the arena. Since Canadian Nats for the most part only has 20 minute Zamboni breaks, we would go out for an espresso or glass of wine and use the restroom facilities at the restaurant avoiding the lines at the arena. You could get back to your seat in half an hour.
Everything to like but weird timing. I need to keep an eye on US Natls. And Vancouver for Halloween is likely to be 30 degrees warmer. I’m getting soft in my old age.
Yes but their wind chill from the dampness is pretty much equal. my sister lived there for 5 years. Vancouver is gorgeous though.
Ha yes I am more than sure you have experienced freezing in those provinces for sure.
I'm the same. I have an umbrella in the trunk of my car but never take it out. I rely on good raingear - I have an expensive waterproof coat, but prefer a coat given to me by a friend. It's also waterproof, but has a detachable fleece inside - hence I'm both warm and dry.
I remember talking to a customer in the Yukon and talking about temps and he mentioned -65 or -75 so I told him I would never complain about Ottawa again. I asked him how they deal with it and he said you go to the pub and have a beer. 😂
When I went to Canadians in Vancouver in 2018, it lived up to reputation and rained torrentially (which also made it freezing outside) for all three days I was there. Vancouver doesn't have (or at least didn't have, then) Uber, and the rink was on UBC campus which is kind of in the middle of nowhere, so public transport in the rain was not fun.
Wasn’t there an issue ... I think Whistler and they were concerned about the lack of snow due to the weather?
Yes - I think they had to bring in some artificial snow and they were even having trouble keeping that at the correct temperatures.
Yes! Prior to the Olympics my sister lived in Burnaby B.C. and on Canada Day we drove to Whistler. People were skiing down the hill in shorts etc lol and yes it was a beautiful warm day.
Our daughter always asks why she moved somewhere that hurts her face lol .. but then again she did a dance think outside for charity in her T-shirt as just a balmy -27 lol
Lol. I agree with you that damp cold chills me in a very different way then just a normal coldness.
