SCOTIABANK HOCKEY DAY IN CANADA
MEDIA UPDATE
KENORA, Ont. — As Scotiabank Hockey Day in Canada approaches, the festivities planned keep getting better.
The National Hockey League (NHL) is bringing the NHL® Centennial Fan Arena to the Scotiabank Hockey Day in Canada festivities on Saturday February 18, 2017 at the Whitecap Pavilion and Kenora’s Harbourfront.
“Having the NHL’s Centennial Fan Arena be a part of the Scotiabank Hockey Day in Canada is a tremendous addition to Saturday’s event at the Harbourfront,” says Dan Reynard, Local Organizing Committee Chair.
“As a lifelong hockey fan, I am extremely excited for Kenora and our neighbouring communities to experience this traveling NHL fan experience. The Museum trailer will provide the opportunity for many to re-live memories of their youth and provide a valuable historical insight for those new to the game“.
An interactive traveling fan experience that will visit all NHL markets across North America in 2017, the NHL Centennial Fan Arena is a main pillar of the NHL’s Centennial festivities honoring a century’s worth of extraordinary players, teams, remarkable plays and unforgettable moments. Created with NHL players and fans at the center of the experience, the NHL Centennial Fan Arena combines great NHL traditions with the latest
in technology, and marks the first time any sport has produced a North American-wide, year-long, interactive traveling fan festival that will visit every League market.
“In the first month, the NHL Centennial Fan Arena has visited Toronto, Arizona, Dallas, San Jose, Anaheim, Los Angeles and St. Louis, and the response has been overwhelming,” said Steve Mayer, NHL Chief Content Officer and Executive Vice President.
“It truly is the ultimate fan experience – whether you want to immerse yourself in the history of the NHL, try your skill at the Virtual Reality Zamboni Experience, play some pickup ball hockey or take a selfie with the Stanley Cup, the Fan Arena offers something for everyone.”
