Get ready to rumble, sports fans!
Starting Wednesday, June 3, the NHL Stanley Cup Finals get underway as the puck drops for Game 1 between the Chicago Blackhawks and Tampa Bay Lightning.
Hockey lovers recovering from the hockey heartache caused by this year’s Vancouver Canucks season may want to throw their attention to the NBA Finals beginning this Thursday, June 4. The Golden State Warriors go head-to-head against LeBron James’ Cleveland Cavaliers, playing for the championship title.
Even for those who lack a love of sports but just want a fun reason to get out and celebrate, here is our list of some of the best places to watch the two championship series.
