To all our EAGLES Players and Families,
We are honoured to partner with The City of Burlington to
welcome Rogers Hometown Hockey (HH) with Ron MacLean and Tara Slone on
October 27-28 in our great city! We will participate in initiatives that
will broadcast live during the NHL games and others will be pre-taped during
the day to air later that night on Sportsnet.
We are working closely with the organizing committee of all the minor hockey clubs (i.e. BLOMHA, Barracudas) and the HH marketing team on a number of initiatives to engage our clubs and shine a spotlight on Burlington's hockey community. We need your help! I have listed below all of the opportunities where our teams, players and families can get involved.
Ball Hockey Games — Pre-taped for Sportsnet
Coaches – Hometown Hockey is looking to fill the following timeslots for Saturday 5:30-6:00 PM and Sunday 4:30-7:00 PM
