Where can I stay in Sudbury?
The Snowplate committee has negotiated a special rate of $70 per room plus taxes per night for either a single or double room at the Cardinal Motor Inn. See the Hotel Info page for more information.

Will there be hot beverages available?
Oh Yeah! Make sure you bring a travel mug!

What time do games start on Saturday and Sunday?
Unknown this year. Probably 9:00am on Saturday and 10:00am on Sunday like past years. (start times are subject to change)

What time do things end on Sunday?
In the past, things are generally over by 4pm Sunday (this is subject to change)

Is there a party on Saturday night?
Of course!

Where is the party?
The location of the party is at the 1500 Pub & Cues located at 1500 Regent Street South. The Cardinal Motor Inn is located adjacent to the bar.

What do I wear?
It's a good idea to wear waterproof boots, and bring many, many changes of socks. The more socks you pack, the happier you'll feel! If it's cold, eye and face protection can really help against the wind.
You should also bring some form of a team uniform, or a light and a dark shirt to wear over your winter gear. Team toques will be provided.
