Olympics: Where will they practice?

[Ziostilon]

Theres still morning skates and off-day practice.

This will all require an ice surface. For those coming to Vancouver, or those already there. You might want to get the complete package

Most likely Canada Hockey Place will not be open for those non-game exercises.

UBC and Pacific Coliseum are being used.

8 Rinks and Brittania ice rink have already stated they are going to be used for practices for hockey teams & other sports. There is also more than 1 rink at UBC.

The ice is out on the "C" rink at UBC to store barricades and whatnot for the Olympics (or at least it appeared that way mid-January), and the Bauer rink (the old "Main" rink) didn't get taken over when Vanoc took over the big new one (in mid December, and the Bauer was still being used for mens league games a week ago), so I'd imagine that they're not using it for much of consequence.

But yeah, there are more than enough rinks in the Vancouver area to handle that stuff.
