| The official unveiling of The MasterCard Centre for Hockey Excellence (www.lakeshorelionsarena.ca) took place earlier this month. Construction began only a year and half ago. The new facility has been funded by the Lakeshore Lions through private equity and fundraising efforts and was developed by Giffels Design-Build Inc.
"The new arena houses three NHL-sized community ice pads, an Olympic-sized ice pad, and a spectator arena that can seat upwards of 4,000 spectators. It also features first-rate training and exercise facilities, a medical room and physio therapy rooms to support player diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation and recovery. The arena will be used by the Maple Leafs, Toronto Marlies, as well as young community hockey players and will host Hockey Canada and the Hockey Hall of Fame". Read more at: insidetoronto.com. |
