Get ready.
Crunch.
It’s time for BC Lions Football.
Smush.

The most entertaining football on the continent is ready to go once again, as our Leos
take to the gridiron for the 1994 CFL season. :

In addition to regular season home games, BC Place and the BC Lions are hosting the
Western Semi-Final, the Western Final, and the 1994 Grey Cup Game.

1994 promises to be a banner year, as the CFL introduces two new teams, and the Lions
celebrate 40 years of football in BC. Fittingly, this-year’s slogan reads, “BC Lions: 40

 

 

Years of Pride.”

Sc’ get on out there and support one of the best tickets in town: BC Lions Football.
Tickets range from $15.00 to $42.75 for adults, and from $9.00 to $21.50 for children
under 18. (Student rates are not currently available, but we're workin’ on it.)

Game packages are available in three-, five-, and season-ticket bundles. For ticket
information, call Ticket Master, at 280-4400.

   

Roller Hockey

by Candice Lee

As the Vancouver Voodoo and the
Roller Hockey International (RHI) head
into their second season, 13 new teams
join the league to increase the total
number of teams from 11 in the leagues
inaugural season to 24 in its second
season. TheVoodoo play 11 home games
this year an increase from the 7 they
played last year.

The first-ever RHIAII-Star game will
be held in Vancouver on July 9 at the
Pacific Coliseum at 7:30 pm. Tickets are
$12 for adults, $8 for youth and $5 for
children. All ticket prices include 50%
off PNE parking.

Regular season Voodoo tickets are a
great deal for the family. Single ticket
prices are $18 for adults, $11 for youth

-and $7.50 for children. Included in the
ticket price are complementary PNE
parking ($6 value), free pre-game

barbecue, free public skating with the
Voodoo players and reduced admission
price to playland. All games are played
at the PNE Agrodome.

Game day activities start at 4:30pm
with the pre-game barbecue followed
by the public skate from 5:00-6:30.The
15 minute pre-game warm-ups for both
teams start at 7:00.The games start at
7:30pm. After every Voodoo goal there
are fireworks and the so-called Voodoo
bongo which the fans do whatever the
can to make noise. The music between
plays is a good mix of music that would
be played at dances. They also provide a
good DJ/announcer who hypes up the
crowd when the Voodoo are losing or
when there is a break in the play. The
fans are always involved in the games.

Although the game itself is slightly
slower and a lot of hitting is eliminated
it is just as exciting as an NHL Canuck
game. With all the pre-game activities
it makes Voodoo games even more
enjoyable for the fans.
