Ottawa 2017 are producing endless events throughout the year. They are exceptional in their “esteem value” by Canadians. We will be featuring them in advance from here on.

They recently celebrated the 125th Anniversary of the Stanley Cup in a Tribute across several venues. It was one of Ottawa 2017 Signature Events, lasting 3 days. Is there anything much more Canadian than hockey?

A concert included tales of Stanley Cup® glory from hockey legends Mike Bossy, Dave Keon, Guy Lafleur, Frank Mahovlich, Bernie Parent and Bryan Trottier, six of the 100 Greatest NHL® Players in history, in addition to rare archival footage of some of hockey’s most historic moments (above).

Enjoy! And men, if you get “dust in your eyes” while watching, we understand. I did.

EXPERIENCE IT AGAIN

Until October 9, 2017, sports enthusiasts can explore a new hockey exhibition developed by the Canadian Museum of History, Ottawa, that celebrates the sport’s evolution and its widespread appeal.
