Previously, Coup De Main hasn't embraced sports on any kind of excited level. We may appreciate it personally, but it has never made it online... until NOW. (Sorry Brendon your blogs don't technically count). This July, the most exhilarating and entertaining sports event of the year is coming to our shores... The mighty USA will face-off against CANADA in a three game INTERNATIONAL ICE HOCKEY SERIES. We are all excited, in some kind of nostalgic or weirdly influenced way... Sha's favourite band in the whole-wide-world Tegan and Sara have openly said that Ice Hockey is their favourite sports game in the whole-wide-world. Hence, Sha's excitement to see the game. My inspiration is a little different. I have always been obsessed with the film series 'The Mighty Ducks', I even took up ice-skating as a child, in aspiration to play ice hockey... which didn't end up happening, but hey the thought was there!
"The tour is being led by NHL superstar Kyle Quincey of the Colorado Avalanche who will also captain the Canadian team while his nemesis Rob Schremp of the New York Islanders will captain USA. The 3 game series will start in Auckland’s vector Arena on July 23rd before heading for game 2 at Christchurch’s CBS Arena on July 30th and the final game is to be held inside Dunedin’s Ice Stadium on August 3rd." The tickets are selling fast for all of the arenas, so make sure you don't miss out on this sporting event of a lifetime. Who knows if they will ever be back!
