Seahawks in Vancouver

Seahawks in Vancouver

Seahawks pride will be heading north of the border this week.

As part of the NFL’s “Play 60″ tour, a trio of Seahawks-themed events will take place in Vancouver on Thursday and Friday.

Hosted by 12th Man North, the team’s Canadian-based marketing group, there will be a golf tournament on Thursday at the University Golf Club, a training camp preview party at Earl’s in Vancouver on Thursday night and a Junior Training Camp on Friday at Vancouver College.

All events will coincide with a big Seahawks-centric media push in the Vancouver area as the team serves as the sole NFL club in the northwest U.S. and southwest Canada. Assistant coaches Todd Wash and Kris Richard are scheduled to attend the golf tournament and represent the Seahawks in Vancouver this week.
