Leave home early. Getting into the CN Centre parking lot on Thursday night will take some extra time.
Traffic along Ospika Boulevard will be thick, because the Subway Super Series game between the Western Hockey League all-stars and the Russian Selects will be played in front of a sellout crowd.
As of late Tuesday afternoon, a scant four tickets remained for the game, the sixth and final one in the Canada-Russia junior hockey showcase. Capacity at CN Centre is 5,995 spectators.
"We're so excited," said Prince George Cougars vice president Brandi Brodsky. "When we first decided that we were going to ask the league if we could have the game here, and when we were going through the planning process, we did our budget numbers based on 3,500 people being there. Of course we were hoping for a sellout but we wanted to be a little bit realistic about it. Getting to this spot a couple days before the event is just so exciting."
