Upstart Cornwall

RBC Cup 2008 - Cornwall

The RBC Cup kicks off on Saturday night when the Colts face the Humboldt Broncos from Saskatchewan. This event is the largest scale sporting event the city has hosted in its history. Although the Royals won three Memorial cups, that tournament was never hosted here.

Cornwall now has a real chance to step up and show the country what we are all about.

I have tickets to the tournament opener on Saturday night as well as 2 other games next week plus the Final. I’m hoping each game will be sold out - but most likely we will see good crowds for the Colts three games (or more) and the playoffs next weekend.

The new seating is up & ready and looks pretty good. I play hockey on Friday nights and have seen it first hand - in fact my tickets are in the new seating. The Complex looks very different with the new red seats around the rink - it kind of looks like a regular arena now! From what I have heard the ice surface has been redone and looks good.

The RBC Cup can do a lot to repair / increase the City’s reputation both nationally and in the region. Cornwall has been prepping for this for 4 years and it’s now time to step up.

See you at the Complex!
