A couple from Petitcodiac, N.B. are taking their love of hockey to a whole other level, with plans to tie the knot this weekend at centre ice at the Moncton Coliseum.
The Moncton Coliseum is the home of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League’s Moncton Wildcats.
“We just wanted to it be different and completely out of the box,” said bride-to-be Jana McCully.
On Saturday, she and her fiance, Ryan Ogilvie will say their “I do’s” on the very rink where their love for each other, and for Canada’s favorite game, grew into a passion. The season ticket holders says it’s like a Canadian dream come true.

“When I first said it, I didn’t think she would go for it,” said Ogilvie, who suggested an ice rink wedding as a joke.
“I like hockey and I watch a little bit of it but it’s mostly for him,” McCully said. “He is my soul mate and my best friend and I have been incredibly happy since I met him, and he changed my life.”
There is no question, McCully is a good sport. For their engagement photos, Ogilvie taught McCully how to skate, something she hadn’t done in 15 years.
“He would not let me go to the engagement shoot unless I bought men’s skates, which don’t have a toe pick, and I cannot stop,” she said laughing at her less-than-stellar skating skills.

The couple even had special jerseys made up for the occasion, with their wedding date printed on the front and “bride” and “groom” on the backs.
Their wedding programs also look like authentic game tickets, and they designed a commemorative puck.
Their two-year-old son, Reid will be the ring bearer, and will carry a special, long-awaited sign for his dad, who just happens to be a Toronto Maple Leafs fan.
“Dad here comes your Stanley cup,” McCully said it will read.
She says roughly 150 people will take to the seats to cheer them on on their “game day.”
