Capital Power was event sponsor for the 2012 IIHF World Junior Hockey Championship,   which took place in Edmonton and Calgary, Alberta from December 26, 2011 to January 5, 2012. 

Both cities set a new attendance record for the championship, attracting over 571,000 fans between the Scotiabank Saddledome and Rexall Place over the 11-day tournament.  The record breaking attendance brought significant economic impact to both host cities. 

Using figures from Hockey Canada, Edmonton Economic Development Corporation estimated the event brought a minimum of $30 million to Edmonton, while Calgary Tourism estimates the event generated nearly $80 million in profit for their city.

Capital Power, together with two local community-based groups, participated in an in-game fundraiser to help local families register for minor hockey.

December 13, 2011 - Countdown is on to the World Junior Hockey Championship in Edmonton! 

The countdown is on to the World Junior Hockey Championship matchup between USA and Finland!

Capital Power is thrilled to sponsor the December 28 game and excited for the opportunity to not only help bring this great event to Edmonton, but to join together with KidSport Edmonton and Sport Central for a special in-game fundraising event.

During the TV timeout, there will be an engaging opportunity for all fans at the game to come together and help kids in our community receive the support and equipment they need to play minor hockey.

So come ready to make some noise!!

The louder the crowd, the more money Capital Power will donate to KidSport Edmonton and Sport Central to help low-income families register and get the proper equipment for minor hockey. Families who have benefitted in past from Kidsport Edmonton will be joining the effort live at the game courtesy of Capital Power.

As an Edmonton-based company, Capital Power places significance and priority on supporting local community-based groups such as KidSport Edmonton and Sport Central. We are honored to be able to partner with and support these organizations that strengthen our community.

We hope to see you at the game on December 28th!
