Rogers Hometown Hockey is coming to Steinbach. Hosts Ron MacLean and Tara Slone will be here March 9th and 10th to host a two-day hockey celebration. There will be live entertainment and hockey-themed activities for the family, culminating in an outdoor viewing party on that Sunday for Rogers Hometown Hockey.

Troy Warkentin, Chief Administrative Officer for the City of Steinbach, says planning has been underway for a few months...

"We first were contacted by the Rogers Hometown Hockey group back in June. We've been working on trying to put together a program ever since then."

Warkentin says the city will be profiled and local hockey stories will be shared on the national program.

"There are extensive community spotlights and stories that the program does try to focus on to really capture the essence of what the host community is all about."

Full event details will be issued early in the new year.
