Yeah, that's effing amazing. I can understand why the players felt they were in the movie Mystery, Alaska.

Very cool location

Pretty sweet. It's been many years since I've been able to hike into the BC mountains - it's a very rare thing to be able to skate on our mountain lakes. You generally need cold, clear weather for at least a week - with zero precipitation, because once snow gets on the first layer of ice, that's it for the year. It will not blow off and can't properly be scraped off because west coast snow is fairly wet, and sticks. Maybe you have heard of coastal concrete.

It's a dream of mine to hike into Widgeon Lake and skate there if the conditions ever permit, and I am back in SW BC.

Anyway, nice to have the money for helicopters to do this. Pretty cool though, and I imagine the photographer had a drone up there as well. Would love to see that video.

I vaguely remember a beer commercial like this. Where they put a dispenser fridge at the top of the mountain?

It was a Molson commercial. But even a helicopter ride into the mountains to play hockey at the top of a mountain couldn’t convince me to drink that swill.

Super gross beer.

Imagine a winter classic tradition that used places like this. One game’s worth of revenue sacrificed for these visuals on national television.

Yeah they flew out of Calgary that was in Alberta. Great commercial. Here’s the full length version, try not have a tear in your like when you’re cutting onions.

Agreed. Call me a hipster but I'm more of an ultra-bitter 6.8% IPA guy myself.

What's with the NY ass times spelling it "N.H.L."

Jesus that's beautiful. I loved it. That said...Who is that?

Andrei Lanochkin - former coach of the Estonian National team when they were occupied by Soviet Union. His son Vitaly contacted Molson to set it up and thank his father for giving him a new life in Canada

If there was ever a year to do it...this would be it.

It would be amazing if the NHL could play a game or two at Lake Louise. Plus you wouldn't have to helicopter everyone to the lake and there is a world class hotel right there.

Isn't that Lake Moraine?

Nonetheless, that'd be awesome to see.
