The City of Saint John announced today via press release that there will be a parade at noon on Tuesday beginning at King Square and travelling down King Street. There will then be a rally at the Market Square boardwalk (rain location, Market Square Atrium) at approximately 12:20pm.
“Win, lose or draw at Sunday night’s game, these players are our champions. They are talented young athletes and leaders in our community both on and off the ice,” said Mayor Ivan Court in a release. “I congratulate the players, coaching and management staff for another exceptional season and a professionally run organization that has become a treasure in our community.”
Fans are asked to wear blue, white, and other Sea Dogs fan-wear at the parade and rally.
Saint John will find out who their opponent will be in the Memorial Cup final tonight. Fans can watch Sunday’s game for free at Harbour Station.
Do they not realize that 90% of the fans will be in school or working? Not cool :(
ReplyDeleteAgree with Tricia!! Not cool!
ReplyDeleteagreed =(
ReplyDeleteits during lunch hour most people up town can show as for people east and west im unsure.. it'll still be a huge turnout
ReplyDeleteReally isn't anything new most places have them at this time ... Same thing happened when the Flames won the Calder Cup and still had a great turnout.
ReplyDeleteRemember a lot of these guys are still in school themselves and several will also be going home for a short couple of months before them come back and do it all again! :)
Don't forget the QMJHL draft is next weekend :)
ReplyDeleteWe will probably be missing 6 of our players because they are invited to the NHL combine which starts on Monday May 30th and runs through to June 4th.
