The Sudbury Community Arena is pleased to announce legendary rockers George Thorogood and the Destroyers are bringing their “Good to be Bad: 45 years of Rock” tour to the Arena on Friday, May 12, 2023, presented by Jones Entertainment Group. Tickets go on sale online at www.greatersudbury.ca/tickets. 

Since 1976, they’ve sold over 15 million albums, built a classic catalog of hits, and played more than 8,000 ferocious live shows. They broke records with their 50 Dates/50 States Tour, delivered landmark performances at Live Aid and on SNL, and became mainstays of radio, MTV and stages worldwide for more than two generations. Through it all, they’ve remained one of the most consistent – and consistently passionate – progenitors of blues-based rock in pop culture history.

For the past 45 years, it’s been very good to be George Thorogood & The Destroyers, and in 2022, their Good To Be Bad Tour: 45 Years Of Rock will prove why, like never before.

“If you’re content, you may as well be dead.” George laughs with his familiar rasp. “I think everyone has thoughts about retiring, but the phone keeps ringing. You want me and The Destroyers to come to your town, set up our gear, wear some cool threads and play ‘Who Do You Love?’ End of conversation. Let’s rock!”

THREE NATIONAL CURLING CHAMPIONSHIPS SET TO ROCK THE NICKEL CITY IN 2023
** TICKET SALES LAUNCHING THIS THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 1ST **

Thursday, September 1st, 2022 – In what is truly a historic collaboration, the Coniston Curling
Club, the Copper Cliff Curling Club and Curl Sudbury will be joining forces, in a partnership with
both the City of Greater Sudbury and Curling Canada to offer an incredible two week stretch of
curling – dubbed the 2023 Nickel City Curling Championships – in March of 2023.

Sudbury will be welcoming the very best curlers in Canada as well as the next generation of
Canadian curling champions to the Gerry McCrory Countryside Sports Complex, March 15th to
the 26th, 2023.

Our country’s rising stars will take to the pebbled ice first, in the CCAA Curling Canada College
Championships and the U SPORTS Curling Canada University Championships, including Sudbury’s
own men’s and women’s Laurentian University squads.

The best athletes from across our country will then compete in a 28-team Canadian Mixed
Doubles Championship, featuring 14 of our provincial & territorial champions, as well as the top14 ranked Mixed Doubles teams in our country, not already qualified through the provincial
championship playdown process.

This event, originally slated for 2022, was cancelled due to the significant surge of COVID-19 cases
in the area. The Nickel City Curling Championships committee has been working harder than ever,
with incredible motivation, to bring this series of events to fruition.

With another Winter Olympic season in the books, interest in curling continues to surge across
the country. This event will be the first big step for elite teams vying to compete for a spot in the
2026 Winter Olympics in Milano-Cortina, Italy.

Full-event ticket packages for the Nickel City Curling Championships will be LIVE on the City of
Greater Sudbury’s website as of Thursday, September 1st at 9:00AM ET! Those interested can
visit www.greatersudbury.ca/tickets. Three initial packages are available for purchase: a
Canadian Mixed Doubles event package, a U SPORTS/CCAA event package, as well as a FULL
package granting access to all 3 events. Individual day passes and other various packages will be
made available early this Winter.

As one can imagine, competitions of this magnitude require a large number of volunteers in order to be successful. To ensure that we are able to host a world-class, standout event, we are looking for the community’s help. Volunteer applications are now being accepted – more information can be found at volunteer.curling.ca/2023NCCC.

A wide variety of sponsorship packages are also being presented for this event. Showcase your brand to the entire country, live on location at the arena! Please contact 2022sudburycurlingeventhost@gmail.com for further information on available packages.

Community members can find regular updates regarding the 2023 Nickel City Curling Championships using the hashtag #2023NickelCityCurls, by checking the Nickel City Curling Championships Facebook Page or via the Coniston Curling Club, Copper Cliff Curling Club and Curl Sudbury Facebook & Twitter pages.

It has been a long time since we have been able to enjoy all the aspects of a live sporting event, and an even longer time for a national curling event to return to the Nickel City. This is our opportunity to bring the curling community, as well as the entire community of Greater Sudbury together for an exceptional 2 weeks of curling.
