The Kraft Hockeyville event is one of the coolest "small" scale things the NHL does (check out the Wikipedia page or the CBC's coverage; it's like a Winter Classic for the location that that hosts it). The town gets arena upgrades, food bank donations, and the presence of NHLers would have probably made this the biggest event in recent memory for little Stirling-Rawdon (population ~5000). <br /><br />The lack of game really takes away the luster of the event (they still get the upgrades, but lack the final reward/recognition) and would ensure that either a new town misses out next year or that Stirling-Rawdon doesn't get the spotlight to itself. It's a little thing, but it's a stupid thing to lose. I hate to think what this lockout will cost us next.zekebudhttp://inwordsandphrases.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5796383459721793585.post-61618793438450380982012-09-18T22:22:55.444-04:002012-09-18T22:22:55.444-04:00Should also figure with the Blue Jackets luck, we ...Should also figure with the Blue Jackets luck, we would get the All Star game and it will be cancelled.
