Molson Canadian Hockey House will be a refuge, a retreat, a party zone, and a hub for all things hockey during the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Games. The House will host players, teams, fans, VIPs and delegates throughout the course of the Olympic activities in 2010.

The facility will be located at Concord Pacific Place, in North East False Creek between Creekside Park and GM Place. Here are some fast facts about the venue:

  • The pavilion is 81,000 square feet
  • Expected to host more than 50,000 fans throughout the 2010 Olympic Winter Games
  • Will serve up 350,000 cans of Molson Canadian
  • Wolfgang Puck Catering will be supplying the food in the dining area that seats 250 people
  • Tyler Stewart of the Barenaked Ladies is the Executive Director of Entertainment
  • 40-foot HD screens for watching hockey, 1,400 square feet of video images, a 40,000 watt sound system, 38,000 LEDs and over 92 million video pixels
  • Signature Molson Canadian bars
  • Hockey trivia, hockey karaoke, and other daily events
  • Conscious effort to reduce the carbon footprint of the venue, including (but not limited to) recycling and using recycled/biodegradable products
  • The Molson Canadian Hockey House will be in operation from 11:00am until 2:00am every day and opens to the public from February 12 until February 28, 2010.

    Multi-day VIP passes went on sale this morning and although they cost a pretty penny there are still three levels of ticket options (bronze, silver and gold). The Bronze package includes the Opening Ceremonies on Day 1 (February 12th) for $495. If that’s out of your range but you would still like to take part, they are also looking for volunteers to help host the Hockey House.

    You can follow @Hockey_House on Twitter for updates.

    Update January 7th, 2010
    I have received word that MCHH is selling pretty well so far with VIP passes completely sold out when Team Canada plays Team USA in the Olympic tournament. Spots to hang out at the Hockey House during Other Team Canada games are still available as well as FAN ZONE passes, which start at just $99. The FAN ZONE passes aren’t as exclusive as the VIP obviously, but you get access to the lounge, a great hockey-watching atmosphere, food, and two complimentary beverages (with many chances to purchase more from any of the bars after that).

    Along with other events and entertainment there will also be a Gretzky Tribute Night on February 19th. It has also been confirmed that “The Great One” will be in attendance.

    Update January 19, 2010
    Since the price has dropped to $99 for the Fan Zone the website is slammed today with ticket orders. You can still get your tickets by calling 1 866 523 8959 if you can’t get through online.

      Does the Hockey House want their own in-house photographers? ;) I’ll just go around all day taking photos of the festivities!

      Not to sound unduly chauvinistic, but I would like to understand the methodology of how Molson CANADIAN chose Wolfgang Puck as their food purveyor.

      Does anyone know if there is an age limit for this event?

      @Deb I’m pretty sure you need to be 19+ (legal drinking age) to be there.

      Miss 604…we’re looking at the possibility of allowing under LDA during the day at Molson Canadian Hockey House. We will have those of legal drinking age wrist banded to ensure legal drinking age consumption only. Thanks for the interest. Cheers @MolsonFerg

      Do you need to pre-buy tickets? If there is a cover to enter how much is it? What time does it go till?

      They have changed their twitter name to just Hockey_House http://twitter.com/Hockey_House
      Would have been better without the underscore.
