Lethbridge Hurricanes fall twice after curling conflict forces team into smaller arena Globe_Sports
Instead of a raucous atmosphere in their normal 5,500-seat rink, the team’s home-ice advantage was blunted since only a fraction of supporters could watch in the alternate 975-seat venue.
Pucks were bouncing more than normal, the play seemed less free-flowing and the usual game-day experience was somewhat muted. A lottery system was used for tickets and alternate viewing areas were arranged so fans could watch on big screens.The annual world curling championships are usually played in late winter or early spring. Canada usually plays host to the men’s and women’s playdowns in alternating years.
