This just in!!!

Received an email from Carla marketing director of the SOEC in Penticton. Apparently Canucks brass are pulling rank being the hosts of this tournament and are cancelling up to half of the previously handed out media passes as per Jen Rollins Coordinator and Media Relations and Publications Canucks Sports & Entertainment

I may end up losing my pass entirely. An added note, they will be confiscating any DSLR outside of media gallery or asking the people to format their cards and leave the building.

What the hell....

Nothing larger than a cell phone sized camera allowed....

Not that I have one to bring, but perhaps there really were too many handed out. I'm sure there's a reasonable explanation for it.

Was going to ask as well, but is anyone going to the open practice tomorrow? I'll be travelling to get there so won't attend, but am wondering if it's worth the extra time to go to the others scheduled prior to the games. With two games and a practice, that's a lot of time to spend at the arena for four days.

so we can't watch on canucks.com?

The answer is actually yes I think.

Last Tourny a friend with the local newspaper (Penticton Herald) was threatened with a liable and property suit if he published photos of the tournament itself, only permissible photos were ok and those were ONLY via team permitted conferences or scheduled interviews.

Unbelievable...he did although (are you ready for this) Get backstage and one on one with Taylor Hall and Jordan Eberle as the Oilers allowed him full access.

Seriously...cannot believe I might be disallowed from this. What a self serving monster management and legal has turned this team into.

Maybe, just maybe that's what some of the bad publicity over this whole team is about. Management and brass screwing over media coverage playing favourites the same way AV did.

Ugh, leave it to a bunch of lawyers to turn photos from a hockey game for fans to view into a property and copyright case..

That said I'm going to be a lawyer but I'm steering clear of that kind of law.

That's awesome about your friend though! Too bad our management isn't that open to fan publishers and reporters separate from the team.
