Get your ticket to the future of hockey’ is the message being sent to hockey fans and fanatics as part of an aggressive advance ticket sale campaign launched today that will boost the Greater Toronto Area Bid for the 2006 World Junior Hockey Championship.

The Brampton, Mississauga and Oshawa packages are $149 for five round robin games, including one Team Canada game. A $25 deposit is required.

Refunds will be issued within 30 days from the Bid decision from Hockey Canada.

For two weeks, audiences worldwide are glued to the television to witness some of the world’s best hockey, says Ernie Coetzee, Co-chairperson, GTA Bid Group.
