Alberta Hockey Road Trip
Oilers & Flames — the Battle of Alberta, both barns
Catch both sides of the Battle of Alberta on one trip: the Oilers at Rogers Place in Edmonton and the Flames at the Saddledome in Calgary, three hours apart on the QE2. Add Banff, the Icefields Parkway and a string of well-rated craft breweries between the two cities and it's one of the best short hockey road trips in the world.
