The Town of Cobourg has been chosen as a host city for the acclaimed Rogers Hometown Hockey with Sportnet’s Ron MacLean and Tara Slone.

The Town of Cobourg is pleased to announce that the Rogers Hometown Hockey™ Tour presented by Scotiabank and Hyundai, will be heading to Cobourg, ON, for a celebration of hockey on January 4th and 5th.

Sportsnet and the Rogers Hometown Hockey™ Tour is on its sixth season and will be making 25 stops in communities across Canada to celebrate the local hockey stories that connect the nation. This season-long touring festival will be broadcast live across the nation from the host communities on Sportsnet and Sportsnet NOW.

Hosts Ron MacLean and Tara Slone will be on site for the free festival featuring a weekend of live entertainment, NHL alumni, and hockey-themed activities that will wrap up with a live outdoor viewing party of an NHL broadcast from the Sportsnet Mobile Studio.

“It will be a true priviledge to host a national event like this in Cobourg where we can expect thousands of hockey fans to visit our town,” said Mayor John Henderson, Town of Cobourg. “Embedded into the fabric of our community is the strong support for hockey and our local teams, and we look forward to welcoming Rogers Hometown Hockey to Cobourg.”

Each week during the 2019-20 National Hockey League season, the Rogers Hometown Hockey™ Tour will visit a different community across the country offering a weekend of free outdoor hockey festivities for all ages, concluding in an outdoor viewing party of a Sunday NHL game on Sportsnet.
