For Rogers Hometown Hockey, it’s next stop Vaughan.

The travelling hockey road show led by Ron MacLean and Tara Slone skates into Vaughan for a two-day visit on Jan. 11 and 12.

It is the 15th stop of the season for the weekly in-season program.

The two-day celebration of hockey will be based at the Vaughan Metropolitan Centre -- Transit Square for a range of hockey-related activities.

Interactive hockey activities are among the daily highlights starting both days at noon.

Here’s five things to do:

1. Watch live music performances by Stuck on Planet Earth and Johnson’s Creek on Jan. 11. Cardinal Street takes the stage Jan. 12 with three performances.

2. Autograph sessions with former NHLers Curtis Joseph, Shayne Corson and Darcy Tucker, and Canadian women’s national team stars Laura Stacey and Jamie Lee Rattray, will be held both days.

3. Hockey acrobat Steve Goodtime entertains with a family-friendly rock-'n'-roll show packed with fire, juggling, stunts and guitar solos.

4. Top players from the Professional Women’s Hockey Players’ Association will be on hand for a Secret Women’s Hockey Showcase, held Jan. 12 at the Al Palladini Centre.

5. A community viewing party of the Toronto Maple Leafs-Florida Panthers game caps off the weekend. The action starts at 6:30 p.m., with MacLean and Slone entertaining from the Sportsnet Mobile broadcast studio
