The Lloydminster RCMP wants to encourage all hockey fans to have a fun but safe Battle of Alberta, as the most anticipated playoff series in 31 years started last night.
As many people will be attending bars and restaurants to watch the games, police are reminding everyone to please plan for a safe ride home if alcohol is consumed. Plan for a designated driver or taxi before you go out, to prevent being stuck at the end of the night. If you are hosting a party, please ensure all guests have a way home after the festivities end.
“This is an exciting time for all hockey fans in Alberta,” said Sgt. Brad Mouland of the Lloydminster RCMP. “No matter which team a person cheers for, we all hope to have a safe playoff series without any alcohol-related traffic collisions."
Lloydminster RCMP members will be present around various licensed establishments during the playoff season to provide enforcement and education in the area of impaired driving.
