Cheap Hotels in Vancouver - News

The Ice Fantastic

Visitors to Vancouver will find many interesting things to see indoors and out, but there can be no better insight into the Canadian sporting culture than that provided by the experience of an Ice Hockey game.

Ice Hockey, or simply Hockey, as the frequently ice-bound Canadians call it, is to people in this northern land what football is to the Brazilians or Rugby Union is to New Zealanders, so those turning up in October will find quite a buzz as the National Hockey League season gets underway.

Vancouver Canucks play their first home game of the regular season at 22:00 local time on October 5th 2007 at General Motors Place against the San Jose Sharks.

The atmosphere is bound to be electric as the players whiz around on the ice, pinging the puck around and having the occasional pointless punch-up (considering how much protective gear they are wearing) as the Canucks begin their latest attempt to lift the Stanley Cup for the first time ever.

Visitors staying in cheap hotels can also enjoy plenty of activities in a city sandwiched between the mountains and the sea, offering boating and sailing with a scenic backdrop.
