This is a perfect opportunity to connect and express our gratitude for the support of the Prince George community. It will be a special visit for the players and team.”

The team will travel to Prince George on Sept. 17th and participate in on-ice training at the CN Centre from the 18th to the 20th. All practice sessions will be open to the public.
