With William and Kate, the newly wed Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, appearing before fawning crowds on their first royal visit to Canada, it was only a matter of when a sports franchise would try to get in on action.
The Lethbridge Hurricanes marketing staff evidently figured that since Prince William is an avid sports fan but not much on playing hockey — he was 0-for-3 after taking some shots on goal in a ball hockey game in Yellowknife, N.W.T., on Tuesday — maybe he and his bride would be up for watching some hockey games. The Hurricanes have offered the couple complimentary season tickets for the upcoming year. If they can't make it to every game, on account of their busy schedule and the fact they live in England, there is the option of a 10-game flex pack, as Hurricanes business manager Jim Bradley (pictured, top), explained in a polite invitation letter that is totally not tongue-in-cheek.
