NHL Fan Arena Coming to Tillsonburg

The National Hockey League has selected Tillsonburg to host the NHL Fan Arena on August 10th, 11th and 12th.

TILLSONBURG - Hockey fans from all across Oxford County and beyond will descend on Tillsonburg once the NHL Fan Arena comes to town.

The interactive fan experience has been touring North America all year long honouring 100 years of the National Hockey League.

Kinsmen Club President Brad Martin tells Heart FM the NHL actually selected Tillsonburg host the travelling festival.

"For Southwestern Ontario it's a great little hub in between Detroit, Toronto and Buffalo where the other NHL cities are. They chose Tillsonburg to be the centre of that and the Tillsonburg Kinsmen Club was more than excited to host this wonderful event." 

Martin talks about some of the fun activities that will be set up at the Tillsonburg Community Centre on August 10th, 11th and 12th.

"They're bringing a virtual Zamboni experience which the kids can enjoy; it has a cool mist, a rumbling seat and they race around on virtual ice. They're bringing a touring truck which has the history of the evolution of the game between sticks, equipment and players."

The one and only Stanley Cup will also be there alongside bouncy castles and face painting provided by the Tillsonburg Kinsmen Club.

The three day event will be free to attend and more information can be found on the Tillsonburg Fan Arena website.
