Beyond the rinks

Everywhere you go in Vancouver, Olympic fever reigns

Just east of Canada Hockey Place is Molson Canadian Hockey House, a huge magnet for international hockey-themed hospitality and entertainment between February 12 and 28. The numbers largely tell the story at this tent-style facility: $15 million for construction, 6,038 square metres (62,000 square feet), capacity of 3,000, a plethora of 103-inch plasma TVs showing Olympic hockey, and nightly concerts by Canadian rockers like Tom Cochrane and Colin James. Check out Hockey Hall of Fame memorabilia cases while mingling with ex-NHLers like Paul Coffey, Yvan Cournoyer, Grant Fuhr, and Denis Potvin. Wayne Gretzky Day is February 19, and the Great One will be in the house.
