Two more central Alberta communities are getting in on the fun of the 2018 Hlinka Gretzky Cup.

In December, Edmonton and Red Deer were announced as co-hosts for the re-branded event with round robin and playoff games taking place between August 6 and 11.

Games in Red Deer will be played at the brand new Servus Arena.

Tuesday night at the Red Deer Rebels game, it was announced Penhold and Sylvan Lake will also host games for the international tournament.

On August 4, the Penhold Multiplex will host Sweden vs Finland in pre-tournament play while the USA will take on Slovakia at the NexSource Centre in Sylvan Lake. Both games are scheduled for 3 p.m.
