“Nothing beats watching a rink full of impeccably dressed men and women skate up and down with scarves and ties flying through the wind.”

— Leslie Woods, Co-founder

And we agree!

Get your tuxes and feather headpieces ready—the WRG Classic: Gentlemen’s Hockey presented by lululemon is back for its 4th edition on Saturday, February 18th at Parc Ignace-Bourget! From 9am to 2pm, they’ll be bringing back the roaring 20s and bringing together some of Montreal’s top personalities to celebrate every Canadian’s favourite sport.

Players and guests will embody the era’s explosion of fashion creativity by mixing and matching their best chapeaus, flapper dresses, bow ties, and suspenders, and you might even catch a few dancing off the cold with some Charleston moves.

And like in any good ol’ hockey game, warm food and beverages from a variety of local vendors will be available. If you’re not a huge fan of the cold, a heated lululemon Fan Jam will also help keep guests warm.
