McMikey Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 (edited) I have been toying around with the idea of doing a King of 94 North. So my question... If I can find an airline sponsor. Who would fly to Yellowknife to play NHL 94? It would be in March/April, Its more of a publicly stunt then "get as many players as possible". If I can get 3-5 guys that I have filmed before (you know who you are) it mite be a very cool scene in the movie plus it may be your only chance to see the true North. The first 3-4 can stay at my place. Just a thought, let me know if any of you guys would be up to it. -Mikey UPDATE: THE DATES ARE MORE LOOKING LIKE JULY 2016 Edited January 22, 2016 by McMikey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoachMac Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 (edited) I would be there 100% for sure if you do it during my summer break from school and before Fall sports start. (Approx June 3-August 10). It is funny I have been thinking about contacting you anyway about coming your way this summer! Make this happen! In fact I'll come play you 1 on 1. If not in that time frame, i would still make every effort to come. Edited January 21, 2016 by CoachMac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingraph Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 Holy crap I thought Saskatoon WAS North (was confused why KO94 was called "West"). When I Google'd Yellowknife the Earth expanded into a new part that I never knew existed! (Geography was never my strength). That's mad far, would need 2 days alone just to travel...but maybe? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angryjay93 Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 That sounds awesome and I know I would love to see the north because many years ago I did look up prices to travel there. But once I saw it I was compelled to drink coffee just so I could spit out in amazement. You did mention a sponsor though...and that would do plenty to get me up there. I could probably get a couple days in April, more notice the better naturally. But yes, I love this idea and I'm more than interested.

McMikey Posted January 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 Ok maybe Summer time When Coach Mac is free kgman/AJ/Raph. This could be an epic Gens show down. Plus we can go fishing at a lodge (i'll bring a generator so we can play). Let me think some more. Larmer and Anderson mite join. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoachMac Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 This would be awesome! I have spent many summers in Canada but I have never been North of Jasper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Kudelski Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 I would be in as long as the timing works for me. I could even be convinced to play some Sega if you have Altered Beast. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angryjay93 Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 i just looked up the prices for a flight and they are much different then I remembered. I must have been looking in all the wrong spots 10 years ago because I remember the idea being $2000-3000 for the round trip flight but now I'm seeing it is only 500-600. Considering free or cheap lodging I'd still at least consider doing the trip if we couldn't get sponsorship depending on how long I could get away from the office for.

annatar Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 Make it summer and I'm not ruling anything out! Good chance I'm heading out west at some point this year. Who knows maybe I could make a NWT detour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halifax Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 I'd love to go, but I also got to pick my battles at home and when I can get away for a boys 94 weekend. With two little ones it can be stressful for my wife, especially when the kids are sick, which seems like always these days. So I'll give myself a 38.9% chance of attending at this time.

mrfancy Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 Sounds amazing. I think theres a good chance I could make it if it was around summer time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annatar Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 I love that people are even entertaining the idea of going to practically the Arctic to play some 94. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McMikey Posted January 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 (edited) As its looking now, July in Hay River NWT. If we can plan that everyone meets in Yellowknife (easiest place to fly to in the NWT) I can get a aircraft to fly us to Hay River (no extra cost). Coach Mac Said he would drive to Hay. I'm working on getting some NHL alumni to be there as well Edited January 22, 2016 by McMikey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smozoma Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 We should do it in Alert Put me down at 50/50 for this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoachMac Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 I am planning my trip now. The drive would be amazing and I've got lots of buds, I could visit along the way, but I am also interested in the flight from Yellowknife to Hay River. So I am not ruling out flying. Either way, it will be great, just save me a seat on that plane for now. Bottom Line, I am 100% IN! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brutus Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 HOLY WOW. Gotta be like 20 hour days of sunlight in the summer that far north, no??? BAJESUS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tylerdeanhill Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 I would likely be in for this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 (edited) I could definitely be convinced that this is a justifiable expense. Can we also get a sponsor for whiskey? Not exactly a deal breaker buuuuuut Edited January 31, 2016 by Logan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annatar Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 Any idea if this might happen? Second half of July looks real good for me timing wise. Just saying... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halifax Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 looked at flights...not too bad...around $450 ish. Had no idea though it would take just as long to fly to yellowknife as it does toronto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annatar Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 Not too bad from Saskatoon but pretty expensive from Montreal bud. Let's drive instead, you come pick me up first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
