Minimum Age to attend the NHL hockey game

That depends on the kid.
In Ontario, the Child & Family Services Act does not specifically state a minimum age your child must be before you can leave them unsupervised.
So it really is dependent on your kid.
However in today’s climate… that might be considered child abuse. If some one does something bad to them, you’ll get blamed.
As a pre-teen in the late 90’s… used to go everywhere by myself as a 12 year old.
Was taught a lot of stranger danger.
Have you taught them kick in the nuts, running away, calling 911 and not talking to strangers. Etc etc?

That's a little young, why don't you try getting a 3rd ticket then at least you'd be in the same "room" as them

Working off a couple assumptions based on OP's location:

- There's nothing explicit in Alberta law about how old your child must be before you can leave them unsupervised.
- The Saddledome isn't explicit about this either. Hard to imagine your kids will be denied with tickets but it might look a little odd to a ticket agent/security. I would contact the Flames' customer service about this explicitly, just to be safe - [email protected]

Now, from my own experiences. I started going to sporting events practically all by myself since I was 15. Never had any problems. As long as your kids are comfortable with the situation and you hear positive feedback from the Flames' customer service reps, I'd say you're all good.
