Hullo is expecting loud and boisterous crowds headed to and from Vancouver Canucks home games these NHL playoffs.
The foot-passenger ferry service between downtown Nanaimo on Vancouver Island and downtown Vancouver offers special-event late-night sailings, including during the National Hockey League playoffs.
Sammar Charif, Hullo brand marketing manager, was at Game 1, a 4-2 win against the Nashville Predators on April 21, and said the 11 p.m. return sailing was just as electric as Rogers Arena.
