Clifton Hill Niagara Falls To Host Street Hockey’s Redwood Cup
From September 27 to 29, Niagara Falls and Clifton Hill will be teeming with some of the finest street hockey players in Canada.
It’s predicted that over 75 teams – and 10,000 street hockey fans – will flock to Niagara Falls to witness the crowning of this year’s Hockey Night in Canada’s Play On! national champion.
The top four men’s teams and top two women’s teams from 19 events held across Canada will be battling on the streets of Niagara Falls for the coveted Redwood Cup and $30,000 in cash prizes.

“We are thrilled to be a part of such a significant event,” said Nicholas Tritchew, a Marketing Executive at nearby HOCO Entertainment & Resorts. “With the current NHL lockout, we are expecting the streets of Niagara to be buzzing with excitement.”
The event promises to be a cultural sports phenomenon, with matchups taking place on eleven open-air rinks, smack dab in the middle of Clifton Hill: Niagara’s World Famous Street of Fun by the Falls!
“The hockey tournament couldn’t be in a better location”, said Tritchew. “We’re thrilled that our hotel guests can stay at the heart of such an entertaining event”.

Steps from the hockey games, you’ll also find many family attractions like the Niagara SkyWheel, as well as some of the best Niagara Falls restaurants, including Kelsey’s Bar and Grill and the Boston Pizza/Strike Rock N’ Bowl entertainment centre. Attendees can sample great cuisine and relax between watching all the Redwood Cup games. They can also extend the night with drinks and dancing at the nearby Rumours Night Club.

Attraction seekers can get a great deal with the “Clifton Hill FUN PASS” which includes FIVE of Niagara’s most popular attractions: The 175-foot tall Niagara SkyWheel, Movieland Wax Museum, Ghost Blaster Dark Ride, XD Theater, and Dinosaur Adventure or Galaxy Golf. Attendees save $25 off on-site and if they order the FUN PASS on-line, they’ll get the $25 off plus a bonus spin on the Niagara SkyWheel.
