The hockey world is coming to Buffalo this holiday season and Buffalo is waiting with open arms. 100,000 fans will be congregating for the IIHF World Junior Championship - the world's "Top Gun" for junior hockey. Buffalo will play host Sunday December 26th through Wednesday January 5th.
HT USA Fan Fest is being held in conjunction with this event at the newly renovated Buffalo Convention Center. Some of the special features include: Interactive games and activities, Bubble Hockey Tournament, hockey equipment, sports cards and memorabilia dealers, merchandise vendors, RapidShot Hockey Training System, Kids Zone with activities and a Silly Band Trading Area, Buffalo's favorite food selections, a 'Pampered Zone' for hockey moms (featuring wine and cheese, jewelry and crafts, live entertainment, and children's performers). There will also be a 32'x56' synthetic ice hockey rink for exhibitions that is sponsored by Center Home Ice Arenas, Strong Hockey Innovations and Synchronet Industries. And for the 21 and older crowd, come visit Molson's Hockey House, a version of what was on display at the Vancouver Olympics.
Hockey Towne USA Fan Fest is a true community event allowing many local civic and charitable groups and organizations to sell raffle tickets with a portion of the proceeds going to the individual organizations, such as the Buffalo Police Athletic League (PAL), Camp Good Days and Special Times, as well as the Independent Health Foundation and area youth hockey associations.
Make plans to be part of this once in a lifetime experience - Hockey Towne USA Fan Fest runs Mon. 12/27 10am-9pm, Tues. 12/28 10am-9pm, Wed. 12/29 10am-5pm.

The tournament actually starts with group play the 26th, and concludes with the medal games on January 5th, with games pretty much every day. I'm not sure where you got the 12/27-12/29 dates. I'm really excited for it, the USA/Canada final from last year was one of the best hockey games I've seen in a long time.
