Hockey brought together a pair of provincial politicians on Friday when the premiers of BC and Alberta were at a playoff game between the Edmonton Oilers and Vancouver Canucks.
BC Premier David Eby and his Alberta counterpart Danielle Smith watched Game 2 from a private suite at Rogers Arena in Vancouver.
There were many other people in the suite and the two prime ministers were not sitting next to each other.

Smith challenged AB on social media last week to bet on the outcome of the best-of-seven second-round Stanley Cup playoff series.
AB accepted the stipulation, whereby the loser of the All-Canadian matchup would have to wear the opponent’s jersey and deliver a statement written by the winner in their provincial legislature.
The Canucks lead 1–0 in the series. Games 3 and 4 are scheduled to be played Sunday and Tuesday in Edmonton.
