Trip to Canada?

Question

I want to go to Canada. Where are some good places to go? I'm really into hockey is there any cool hockey places to go? Best time to go? Tell me everything you know.

Answer 1

Well, Toronto is our biggest city so I guess it would be the most obvious choice...

Toronto has:
-The Hockey Hall Of Fame
-Toronto Maple Leafs (I'm not from Toronto, but they seem to have EXTREMELY dedicated hockey fans)
-Toronto St. Michaels Majors (junior hockey team (OHL)) OHL hockey is just about as exciting as NHL
-Maple Leaf Gardens: former home of the Maple Leafs (I have never been there, it might even be closed down for all I know. But if it's still open there's probably a lot of history inside that building)

Toronto also has a very large Chinatown, it's pretty close to Niagra Falls, it's the only city in Canada with a major league baseball team and a major league basketball team, and I believe that there is a very large public skating rink in downtown Toronto (I haven't been there in years so I don't have much information about it.

Don't forget to see the CN Tower if you go and the Toronto Zoo is awesome!

It would probably be best to visit during the hockey season if you want to see a hockey game...

Answer 2

Toronto Canada is the place to go for a great hockey game (Saturday Night Hockey), however, tickets are expensive and hard to come across. Montreal is also a very fun place to visit for the shopping, nightlife, hockey etc. but right now it is cold!! Temp. is about 20 degrees below 0. I would visit in the summer or Fall. It is a wonderful country full of culture, adventure, and overall just friendly.

Answer 3

Best to not come in the summer then because that's when most hockey teams hang up their skates for golf clubs. September to April is best. In Vancouver we have the Vancouver Canucks which are part of the National Hockey League, and the Vancouver Giants, with younger players, are part of the Western Hockey League. Canucks play at GM Place stadium, while the Giants play at the Pacific Coliseum. You can catch these teams practicing at the Eight Rinks arena in Burnaby. Local universities, like UBC, also have their own hockey teams and ice rinks.

http://www.hhof.com/ toronto hockey hall of fame both of these web sites will give you tons of info on planning a trip to competitions you can see or other events Toronto, Edmonton, are great spots but suggest Toronto because there is more to see then just hockey, theaters, shopping, not far from niagra falls etc.

Answer 5

Come to Edmonton, come see our mall. It is very big... but that's really all there is in this city, a really big mall, not much else to do.

Banff, Jasper, Lake Louise; all places in the Rocky Mountains, all really good vacation spots. Come see our mountains, our mountains are nice. The Niagra Region. Vancouver and Toronto two of the biggest, most often visited cities in Canada.
