Watch Hockey as it's Meant to be Seen at the Richmond O Zone

25 February  2010

Looking for the best place to watch the big game? The Richmond O Zone offers the top seat in town with its 42-metre2 HD screen and capacity for 10,000 of your closest buddies. Richmond's official celebration site is proud to feature every upcoming hockey game throughout the final days of the Games, giving fans and families a place to cheer on our hometown heroes as they fight for gold.

Two screens, supplied by Panasonic, span across the O Zone Main Stage, where hockey is the focus all weekend. The Richmond community has the chance to be front row, surrounded by food, drinks and friends as Canada works to conquer the world tournament.

The O Zone also boasts a large variety of concession stands for any hockey-hunger, including a local, diverse ethnic selection, pizza, hot dogs and chilli. There are also multiple beverage tents spread across the grounds where you can warm up with gourmet coffee or relax with a cold beer.

Ice is everywhere at the O Zone, so make sure to drop by. You can lace up pre-game at the outdoor skating rink or test your slap shot over at the BCLC 2010 Winter Games Dome to get yourself buzzer-ready.

The Richmond O Zone is open now to February 28 from 3-11 p.m. weekdays and noon-11 p.m. on weekends. There are three entrances into the O Zone:

  • South - Granville Avenue at Moffatt Road 
  • East - Minoru Boulevard at the Richmond Cultural Centre 
  • North - Near Gateway Theatre
