A Likely Answer to the Question of the Connection Between Ice Cube and the Royals Hockey Sweater

The question of why the custom Ice Cube Royals sweater can be answered partly by a recent event in Victora. Last night (April 23), the Rapper performed at the Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre in Victoria, BC, Canada.

Ice Cube is Set to Play in Other WHL Arenas and Markets

The show on Vancouver Island started Ice Cube’s “Strait into Canada Tour.” Additional stops on his Canadian tour will include other WHL markets such as Prince George, BC, Calgary, Edmonton, AB, and Moose Jaw, SK.

After his stops in Western and Central Canada, Ice Cube’s tour will move onto the country's eastern side.

With stops in other WHL markets, can we see Ice Cube with more WHL sweaters?
