Well its probably too early to tell if there will be 2 rinks used for practices, but I'm pretty sure they will be 2 arena's, Canadians is such a big event, they can't just use one arena for all practices. Too many skaters.

As for the new venue. I can tell you that its right downtown London. BEAUTIFUL venue. Not a bad seat in the house as well. Lots of hotels in the downtown area. Also alot of Bed & Breakfast's as well if you are looking for something like that.

I'm thrilled to see that Canadians is going to be in London. Definitly going to be making a trip for this one!

To get to the John Labatt Centre website, go to John Labatt Centre

I saw B&K's Homecoming show there last month and have been there for many hockey games, and it's true .. not a bad seat in the house. Easy to get to by public transportation; lots of parking and good restaurants nearby.

Any other questions, please post. Looks like there are lots of Londoners who will answer you!

It looks to me like the Labatt centre is right downtown- lots of shopping and restaurants nearby. It looks to me like the closest hotels are the Hilton, the London Delta Armouries, the Executive Suites, the Park Lane and the Villager Premier London. All are within walking distance, according to my map. I already booked at the Delta- I have learned that the cheaper rooms at the nicer hotels sell out very quickly, so I don't waste time. You do have to phone the hotel, though- you can't book more than a year ahead over the net.

I live in London, and am very excited. Cygnus, you will be very happy with the Delta. it's a great hotel. The Hilton is quite nice too. Yes, it is in the heart of downtown. If anyone is coming by public transportation, it's about two block from the bus station, and three from the train. The JLC is new and fabulous.
