Bachman & Turner have been hired to take care of some business for the National Hockey League.
The reunited members of Bachman-Turner Overdrive Randy Bachman and Fred Turner, are one of three musical acts playing NHL Face Off at The Forks on Oct. 6 to kick off the 2011-12 season.
The Winnipeg natives and their band will perform a set as part of CBC’s Hockey Night in Canada pre-game show before the Toronto Maple Leafs/Montreal Canadiens game. Local rock trio Inward Eye and Toronto post-grunge band Three Days Grace will also play during the free six-hour event from 3 to 9 p.m. which includes the introduction of the members of the Winnipeg Jets along with interactive games for families and a beer garden.
CBC personality George Stroumboulopoulos will host the NHL Face Off events at the Scotiabank Stage.
There will also be live local entertainment at The Forks Oct. 9 during a party for the Jets home opener against the Canadiens and a social at the Winnipeg Convention Centre. Tickets for the After Burner social, featuring Blue Rodeo and Keith and Renee, are on sale now for $43 at Ticketmaster.
Enter to WIN a pair of Winnipeg Jets tickets when they face off against the Montreal Canadiens for the historic home opening game on Oct. 9, 2011, PLUS the chance to meet the bands playing at NHL Face-Off 2011 on Oct. 6 at the Forks!
If you’re a six-day subscriber you’ll also win an authentic Winnipeg Jets Jersey and a copy of the new book “Back in the Bigs” by Randy Turner — the story of how Winnipeg won, lost and regained its place in the NHL. Check out the details in our Contests section.
