The Juno Cup Jam Lineup Is Announced

By FYI Staff

It has often been said that Canadian rockers would love to be NHL stars, while top hockey players would love to be rockers. In a jock versus rock faceoff, the annual Juno Cup game pits a team of notable musicians against former NHL stars in one of the most popular events during Juno Week.


For the past two years, this has been preceded by a Juno Cup Jam featuring some of the artists who will participate in the big game. The third annual Juno Cup Jam, presented by CBC Sports, takes place at The Imperial in Vancouver on March 22, the night before Juno Cup is held at Bill Copeland Arena in Burnaby.

NHL greats Brad Dalgarno (New York Islanders) and Gary Nylund (Toronto Maple Leafs, Chicago Blackhawks, New York Islanders), will also join in the music and hockey hootenanny.
