Vancouver

Vancouver is the sexiest Canadian city on this list, and could rival any of the American cities. I’ve never been, but it’s said Vancouver in the summer is like heaven.

They also have a really nice bid on the table. Because it’s such a tourist hot spot, there are no shortage of high-end hotels. The players would stay at the JW Marriott Parq, which boasts 500 rooms and is just 400 yards from the rink.

The hotel features its own nice restaurants, and the players would even have access to a large outdoor space that’s connected to one of the restaurants. The city has also included other restaurants in the mix.

Sign the Colorado Avalanche up. The players will be in an ideal setting without the distractions of a place like Vegas. And COVID-19 numbers have been pretty well contained.

Next. Return to Play?. dark

Anyway, the Colorado Avalanche will perform well no matter where the games are played. We’ll all be cheering so loudly for them they’ll hear us even in their hub city.
