Lloydminster, AB – The Lloydminster RCMP encourages all hockey fans to have a fun but safe Battle of Alberta, as the most anticipated playoff series in 31 years starts tonight!
As many people will be attending bars and restaurants to watch the games, police remind everyone to please plan for a safe ride home if consuming alcohol:
- Plan for a designated driver or taxi before you go out to prevent being stuck at the night’s end.
- If you are hosting a party, please ensure all guests have a way home after the festivities.
“This is an exciting time for all hockey fans in Alberta,” says Sgt. Brad Mouland of the Lloydminster RCMP. “No matter what 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 around impaired driving.
