Hockey enthusiasts can check out products and services from more than 100 exhibitors. Cutting-edge product demonstrations, grand prize giveaways, hourly door prize drawings and celebrity appearances make the Expo one of the can't-miss hockey events of the season. "It's pretty tough to leave the Expo empty handed," said Zollman.
