Only in Canada…

If you’ve been watching the news this week, you know it has been a BAD week to be on the Coquihalla… Because of heavy snowfall and terrible road conditions, the BC government shut down the highway in both directions, stranding hundred of cars on the highway. The closure led a lot of people to sleep in their cars overnight while they waited for the conditions to improve.

Naturally, because it’s the Canadian thing to do, many of the stranded drivers were carrying hockey sticks. When you’re stranded for hours on the highway, it’s the perfect time to bust out said sticks and have a game of road hockey.

The good news is, all highways between the coast and the interior are now open.

Shout out to these guys for making the most out of a bad situation. We salute you!
