This should go over well . So the Families who have girls directly involved in this and played "HUGE" parts in winning Kraft Hockeyville are not even guaranteed a chance to attend the Game ?.........Yep , can't see any complaints coming out of this .

Doesnt matter what you do here....there will always be a group of people who feel slighted. Where do you draw the line? If I'm an Eagle season ticket holder I'd be pissed at getting no ticket access. My money is keeping C200 existing would be my argument or your NHL game would be in a 1000 seat arena or off Island somewhere. Its free tickets for a contest. It is impossible to please everyone. This is probably the fairest solution to come up with.

This is probably the fairest solution to come up with. Maybe we can magically set up ice at Olympic Stadium and school bus the entire population of the CBRM up there so that no feelings are hurt! It's either the current plan they have in place, or let unassuming people pay $100+ a ticket on CB buy and sell and complain about getting scammed because people bought up tickets and sold them at inflated prices. They've picked the lesser of 2 evils here and did what they needed to do.

Its community minded and wants to get tickets in the hands of the community. There's a priority for certain teams...mostly female teams who helped win the contest. I think thats about as fair as you can be. This was never meant to be a game for the fans of those teams or big time hockey fans. It was meant to be a reward for the local minor hockey community with a heavy slant on the female teams who won the contest.

Did anyone win tickets to this? I don't know a single person who did of my friend group.
I have a sneaking suspicion most of the tickets were given to minor hockey organizations for the kids, but unsure if that's really true.

I know several people that had won Practice Tickets ( Consolation Prize ) but not Game Tickets . Your suspicions are pretty close . I can confirm that I heard The County Minor Hockey Association .........through association (lol) had a percentage of tickets given to them . The thing that concerns me is that I have chatted with Long Time Eagles Season Ticket Holders that are really pissed . I get what they are saying but I know the privileges that come with being a Season Ticket Holder don't include this ...........now that's not saying that I think it was done 100 % right because it did go off the rails early and the "NEW" Committee had to scramble to do something to Keep the Peace .

I know people who were offered the tickets but turned them down because they knew it would be the most pre-season roster of all preseason C200 looks so different with fans in the arena
