Ice time: Hockey Morning in Beijing

November 21st, 2007 | Category: Alfa, Cafe St Laurent

Ladies and gentlemen, start your zambonis.

As noted over a month ago, our fair city will soon feature a weekly Hockey Morning in Beijing (see Hockey Night in Canada for the inspiration behind the name).

The puck drops on December 2 at Alfa / Café St. Laurent.

Oyster omelets, bottomless Tim Hortons coffee, Bloody Caesars  - Canuck Chef Billy K is lining up a Great White North menu. Hockey Morning in Beijing - Sundays, from 8 AM to noon, meaning you can catch both games. Let’s hope Alfa cues up Stompin’ Tom (the must-see video is here):

Hello out there, we’re on the air, it’s hockey night tonight．
Tension grows, the whistle blows and the puck goes down the ice.
The goalie jumps and the players bump and the fans all go insane.
Someone roars, “Bobby scores!”, at the good ole hockey game.

Fifty Mission Cap by The Tragically Hip would be good, too.

In the meantime, keep your stick on the ice.

    […] has it that Cafe St. Laurent’s Hockey Morning in Beijing (see here) is postponed a week and will thus start on December 9, rather than December 2. Maybe the zamboni […]

    I SOOOOO wish I lived in Beijing! Bottomless Timmies… hell, Canada doesn’t even have that! ;-)

    Well, it’s only bottomless when the endless wait to get the event going is over! I need my double-double with a Bloody Caesar chaser… can’t… wait… much… longer.

    Let me know when you’re up in Beijing and I’ll drag you along for some Canuck fun.

    Cheers, Boyce

    Hi,

    Just called Alpha and was told they won’t be having this event. Ever. Problems with equipment. I’m just as disappointed as you are. Any idea where we can go enjoy NHL Hockey? I miss my home team! Go Flames Go!!

    Hi Theresa,

    Wow, it’s the first I’ve heard about this. I’ll follow-up with Alfa. If things don’t work out there, I’ve got ideas for alternate venues.

    Cheers, Boyce

    Hi Theresa,

    I checked my Canuck connection at Alfa and he says they have all the equipment but are having technical troubles. I hope they get it figured out soon - too many delays of game.

    Cheers, Boyce
