Event Description

Kelowna’s hockey event of the summer is set to bring a star-studded lineup of current NHL players, alumni and young stars to Prospera Place Friday, August 23rd. Presented by Kelowna High Performance (KHP) with support from the GSL Group, Kelowna Hockey Fest is a fun-filled day of events and activities to bring the Kelowna hockey community together and celebrate Canada’s favourite game.
“We are honoured to bring Kelowna Hockey Fest back again this year, says Mark Fitzgerald, Co-Owner of Kelowna High Performance. “The love for hockey runs deep in Kelowna and this event offers our community the chance to share their love for the sport and their beautiful city.”
The festivities kick off at 2:00 PM on Friday, August 23rd with a free event outside of Prospera Place that is fun for the whole family. With a kids zone brought to you by YMCA of Southern Interior BC, shooting accuracy competition, food vendors, beer garden, merch tent (including KHP partners Violent Gentlemen Hockey Club and Cwench Hydration) and more, the Kelowna Hockey Fest team invites you to gather your friends, family, colleagues or teammates for a fun-filled afternoon.
The evening culminates with the Kelowna Hockey Fest Pro Game with 6:00 PM puck drop at Prospera Place. Hockey fans will enjoy the opportunity to get up close and personal with some of their favourite NHL alumni and current players like Ethan Bear (Washington Capital), Damon Severson (Columbus Blue Jackets), Brenden Dillion (Winnipeg Jets), Joel Edmundson (Toronto Maple Leafs), Tyler Meyers (Vancouver Canucks) and Curtis Lazar (New Jersey Devils), alongside newly drafted young stars. The star-power also extends to the bench with a star-studded lineup of coaches such as Brent Seabrook, Shea Weber and Josh Gorges. The Pro Game also includes a 50/50 raffle and game-worn jersey auction with proceeds supporting the YMCA of Southern Interior of BC.
"GSL Group is excited to work with Kelowna High Performance to bring elite athletes to the big stage at Prospera Place,” says Mike Strawn, VP & General Manager of Sports, Media and Entertainment for GSL Group. “We’re proud to be a leader in connecting communities to sport and are confident this high caliber event will be key to inspiring young athletes in the Okanagan, and strengthen GSL Group's commitment to growing the sport in the locale.”
