The 24 host communities across Canada were announced on Thursday morning.
“Each stop will feature NHL alumni, hometown heroes, local entertainment and all new hockey stories delivered by host Ron MacLean, who once again takes his familiar spot inside the Sportsnet Mobile Studio every Sunday,” read the release.
Rogers Hometown Hockey is a free family festival that will celebrate all things hockey, and will take place on the waterfront at the Summerside Marine Terminal.
“Each weekend is a uniquely Canadian experience that brings us all together,” noted MacLean. “Our mantra has been simple – take you someplace and tell a story.
“We’ve discovered at each stop a story that belongs to us as no other story could. It’s of Canadians, with hockey at its core.”
The nationally televised game on Dec. 13 will feature the Vancouver Canucks visiting the Chicago Blackhawks at 7:30 p.m., Atlantic Time.
Summerside native Doug MacLean is a hockey analyst with Rogers Sportsnet.
