About 2026 Hlinka Gretzky Cup: Semi-Final Game

The Hlinka Gretzky Cup semi-final brings top junior hockey talent to Rogers Place in Edmonton, drawing families, scouts, and fans for a single high-stakes game. Since this is a one-off event rather than a multi-day festival, staying close to the arena matters most for easy pre- and post-game access, parking, and transit.

Where to stay nearby

Edmonton and its surrounding communities offer a range of bases for the semi-final, from downtown hotels steps from Rogers Place to quieter suburban options a short drive away. Here's how each gateway town stacks up for reaching the game.

Edmonton — about 2 km away

Edmonton itself is the obvious choice, sitting just 2km from Rogers Place with by far the largest hotel selection (173 options) in the catalog. Most visitors can walk, take a short cab or rideshare, or use local transit directly to the arena, making this the easiest base for game day.

Sherwood Park — about 12 km away

Sherwood Park, about 12km out, offers a smaller set of 20 hotels and works well for those wanting a quieter stay outside the downtown core. Expect a drive of roughly 15-20 minutes to Rogers Place, so plan for parking or a rideshare rather than walking.

About Rogers Place

Rogers Place anchors the ICE District, the glass-and-steel entertainment quarter built around Edmonton's downtown core, home to the NHL's Oilers and, over the 2026-27 holidays, primary venue for the IIHF World Junior Championship. The surrounding blocks are new and walkable, packed with restaurants, bars and an outdoor plaza that fills for big games.

Edmonton's river valley trails and the Alberta legislature grounds are a short walk further out. Light rail and downtown buses stop right by the arena. Staying downtown puts the rink, the ICE District's nightlife and the rest of the city within easy reach on foot.
