What Happened
Rogers is marking the start of the NHL season with free ticket drops in three Canadian cities, giving fans of the Vancouver Canucks, Edmonton Oilers, and Toronto Maple Leafs a chance to attend their team's home opener. A total of 300 tickets will be given away on Tuesday. Drop locations will be posted on the Rogers Instagram account at 11:30 a.m. local time, with tickets available first-come, first-served.
Key Details

What It Means
The promotion ties a national telecommunications sponsor to the opening week of the NHL season in three of Canada's largest hockey markets. Rogers holds the NHL's national broadcast rights in Canada, and the giveaway gives eligible customers a direct path to opening-night seats without paying face value.
