Canada’s largest street hockey festival is back in Edmonton on September 10 and 11. Open to participants of all ages and experience levels, Play On! provides a unique opportunity for Canadians to gather, connect and play street hockey in an affordable and inclusive setting.
The event marks the first Play On! event in the region since before the pandemic. Over the weekend, hundreds of participants will play, support and spend, contributing to physical and mental health recovery and economic stimulus in the community.
Play On! will feature 20 street hockey rinks on 104 Avenue in front of Rogers Place and MacEwan University. This will require a number of road closures, parking restrictions and transit detours to be in effect leading up to and during the event.
Road closures and parking restrictions
Those travelling east-west to/from downtown should expect delays, particularly on Friday, September 9, when traffic is generally heavier due to those working in the city’s core:
