Canadians might not have the opportunity to place wagers on single events, but regional lottery corporations strive to compensate with their very own diverse betting offerings. The latest offering comes ahead of one of the most heated hockey battles of the year – the one between brothers Quinn Hughes and Jack Hughes. October 19 is about to see the first-ever battle between the brothers and the Vancouver Canucks and the New Jersey Devils.
Canadians are known for their passion for ice hockey and everything it has up for grabs. Events enjoy quite the attention on a regular basis, but for the time being betting on them is considered legal only through the Crown corporations overseeing provincial gaming. Single-event sports wagering remains illegal, rendering Canada not competitive enough when compared to the budding sports wagering field of the US.

This weekend is projected to be a riveting one for hockey fans across North America, as the New Jersey Devils are about to meet the Vancouver Canucks in New Jersey. The Prudential Center in Newark would welcome the two teams ready for a battle on the ice rink. Tickets are on sale right now, ranging from as little as US$20 to US$117.
The excitement is real not only in the United States, but also in Canada and British Columbia in particular. The Vancouver Canucks are expected to represent the province, as they are currently fifth in the Pacific Division. October 18 saw them defeat the St. Louis Blues 4-3. The Missouri team currently occupies the runner up position in the Central Division. October 19 would see a clash of two brothers in rival teams that would have to fights against each other for the first time.
British Columbia Lottery Corporation wants to give its players the chance to bet on the outcome of this battle and right now, there are four betting opportunities available on PlayNow.com.
