Just got this. I guess they don't consider people who have got lower air fares on non refundable plane fares and hotel rooms. I guess I am having a vacation in the Maritimes.

All delegates who are currently registered for the event and have paid the ICC registration fee will receive a full refund.

Tom, that is crappy. You would think they (Hockey Canada) would be able to do something – like offer those who have already booked their flights (and can't cancel) a free pass for their next event?

PS I know a prof at Acadia (motor learning / sport psych / TGfU) who is a hockey guy. I will see if he is around and maybe you guys can meet.
