The All-Star Celebrity Classic NHL alumni game will be moved to the Brandt Centre on Feb.17. The same goes for the subsequent Outdoor Classic on Feb. 18 — a WHL regular-season game between the Pats and Moose Jaw Warriors.

The change was made in response to slow ticket sales that threaten to put the event at a substantial deficit.

UPDATE: The Pats sent out a media release on Wednesday evening which confirmed the news.

“Ticket sales went well early but plateaued in the last couple weeks,” Pats co-owner Anthony Marquart said in the media release. “Weather concerns and the quality of the ice for our players are also a consideration for moving this exciting weekend inside.”
