The Hurricanes play their first two home games of the season Friday and Saturday after starting the season with 8 straight games on the road.
It appears southern Alberta hockey fans can't wait to see the Canes' play at home as they've been snatching up tickets for the home opener left, right, and centre! I spoke with Geoff Stewart, the Hurricanes Business Manager today and he told me Friday's game versus Edmonton is a sellout and Saturday's game against Saskatoon is almost sold out too.
Stewart says the team has sold just over 2400 season tickets to this point and with only 4000 seats available at the Enmax Centre for each home game this year, seating is at a premium. The Enmax Centre of course is undergoing a 33+ million dollar renovation which won't be complete until the start of the 2011 season.
I was in the the Enmax earlier this week and fans really won't notice much of a difference inside. Things look a bit different in the northwest and northeast corners of the rink, but besides that not much change. There is some construction going on downstairs around where the dressing rooms are. Most of the inside changes will occur after the Hurricanes season ends next spring. Fans will likely notice a big difference inside at this time next year.
Thanks,
Pat

A LOT of empty seats at the Enema centre both Friday and Saturday nights. I don't know what constitutes a 'Sell-Out', but it obviously does NOT mean all the seats are full. If the seats were actually sold, the owners missed some great hockey. Sorry boys, hopefully we can do better on Wednesday for you?
