RISE AGAINST with Special Guests A Day to Remember and More (Presented By WXDX)

Doomsday scenarios are often predictive about an ending in life, revealing just what would occur if the world pushed itself to the brink of extinction. And the term "endgame" typically parallels such thinking, often evoking concepts of finality or termination. But for Rise Against, this particular endgame might just be their beginning. … As the title of the band's sixth full-length studio album-and the moniker of the album's title track-Endgame is indicative of both a world that has run its course, and perhaps ushering in an entirely new start.

Edinburgh, Scotland (PRWEB) June 12, 2009
The Edinburgh Capitals, Scotland’s only Elite league Ice Hockey team, are hosting a four team tournament to celebrate Scotland’s contribution to the game of Ice Hockey and “Ice Hockey’s Homecoming”. The teams will be fighting it out to win the Gardiner Cup.
Councillor Steve Cardownie, Festivals and Events Champion for the City of Edinburgh, said, “We’re in for a fabulous and unprecedented spectacle here in September with the arrival of these two top ice hockey teams from Canada. This will be the first time an event like this has taken place in the UK so it really is hats off to Edinburgh Capitals for making it happen. ‘Ice Hockey’s Homecoming’ will showcase the sport being played at the very highest levels and will undoubtedly inspire many of our young people to get involved in the sport. Yet again we are proud to demonstrate to the watching world that Edinburgh truly excels at delivering premier events.”
The tournament will feature two American Hockey League (AHL) teams, the Toronto Marlies (AHL Affiliate of the Toronto Maple Leafs) and the Hamilton Bulldogs (AHL affiliate of the Montreal Canadiens) and 2 UK Elite league teams, the Edinburgh Capitals and the Belfast Giants. It will take place at Murrayfield Ice Rink in Edinburgh. The timetable is below.
Thursday 24th September – a “head to head” clash between the Hamilton Bulldogs and the Toronto Saturday 26th and Sunday 27th September – a Festival of Ice Hockey, a four team tournament where the best of UK Hockey face off against two of Canada’s top teams.
The Gardiner Cup celebrates the life of Charles ‘Chuck’ Gardiner. Known as the wandering Scotsman, he was one of the games pre-eminent goal tenders during the 1920′s and 30′s. Born in Edinburgh, on Henderson Row, he then moved to Canada with his family eventually settling in Winnipeg. He attained NHL stardom with the Chicago Blackhawks where he guarded the cage from 1927 – 1934. Prior to his untimely death in 1934 he led the Blackhawks to their first Stanley cup win and in 1945 and was the first Scot to be inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame. Naming the tournament cup after this great player seemed a fitting accolade for Chuck and his family.
In Scotland’s year of Homecoming it is only fitting that a game that Scottish people played a key role in inventing comes home. This is the highest level of competitive ice hockey to be seen in Scotland and without the support of our sponsors this event would not have been possible.
Scott Neil, the Managing Director of The Edinburgh Capitals, said, “This is an inspiring tournament made possible by the help and support of the City of Edinburgh Council. At a time when we did not think such an ambitious event could be staged in Edinburgh the Council stepped in with their support. We are delighted that such prestigious teams are coming over from Canada and we welcome them and their fans to Edinburgh.”
Scott added, “We have also worked with Homecoming Scotland and VisitScotland whose help and advice has made this dream become a reality.”
Jeff Jackson, the General Manager and Governor of the Toronto Marlies, said of the tournament “The Marlies are thrilled to participate in Scotland’s “Ice Hockey’s Homecoming” Tournament and to compete for the Gardiner Cup. This will be a terrific hockey and life experience for our players and we’re honoured to be a part of this unique event. We are looking forward to a competitive tournament and showcasing a number of our NHL prospects to the hockey fans in Scotland.”
“Both the Hamilton Bulldogs and the Toronto Marlies were approached by the Edinburgh Capitals to compete in an international hockey tournament as part of Scotland Homecoming 2009″, said Hamilton Bulldogs President and Governor Glenn Stanford. “Both organizations saw this as a wonderful opportunity for their players and staff to see a part of the world that might be new to them, while at the same time, prepare for the upcoming AHL season.” Stanford added, “We’re looking forward to opening our pre-season in Edinburgh before returning home to finish training camp and the pre-season in preparation for our 14th season in Hamilton.
Holiday Inn Edinburgh is the official accommodation partner for the tournament. It is the largest hotel in Edinburgh with 303 bedrooms. General Manager Philip Counsell said, “We are extremely excited to be a part of this unique event. Not only do we look forward to hosting the Visiting Teams but also the fans and families that this type of tournament will attract.”
