It was made official Wed April 6, the new sponsor for the PG arena is CN Rail. Everyone will have to get used to calling games in the CN Center now. The City of PG and Cn signed a 15 year deal worth $1.3 million, with an option to renew for another 10 years.
"Before about 240 people who attended a dinner held on the rink floor of the building, Kinsley and CN chair David McLean unveiled the new logo, which combines CN's corporate insignia and a red swoop symbolizing the impression of a skate blade on ice."
Haven't seen the logo yet, but sounds interesting. A long term deal means no numerous name changes as has happend in Kamloops and Kelowna, and being signed late in the spring means it is all excess money not included in the operating budget. Maybe, just maybe we will end up with a jumbotron here yet! :thumb:
