Burnaby 8 Rinks renamed Scotia Barn
BURNABY, BC, Nov. 8, 2019 /CNW/ - As part of a new
relationship between Scotiabank and Canlan Ice Sports, Canlan Ice
Sports - Burnaby 8 Rinks has been renamed Scotia Barn –
a name synonymous with old time hockey, but operated with a
modern-day approach.
As the Official Bank of the NHL® and NHL Alumni Association,
Scotiabank is a committed supporter of hockey at all levels across
the country, particularly kids' community hockey. Since 2008,
Scotiabank has supported one million kids and counting through the
Scotiabank Community Hockey Sponsorship Program.
Similarly, grassroots hockey is at the heart of Canlan Ice
Sports that services over 80 minor hockey associations across
North America and delivers
instructional programs, youth and adult leagues, camps and
tournaments to more than 200,000 hockey enthusiasts annually.
"Hockey matters to Scotiabank because it matters to Canadians,"
says Lesly Tayles, Regional Senior
Vice President, BC and Yukon Region, Scotiabank. "On or off the
ice, we know that being part of a team is a living example of how
we're better together. Scotia Barn is an exciting
opportunity for Scotiabank to demonstrate our commitment to the
Lower Mainland community and share our love of the game of hockey
with fans of all ages, for every future."
"A positive culture, loyal community, and deep love of hockey
are just a few distinguishing characteristics that we at Canlan Ice
Sports share with Scotiabank," says Joey
St. Aubin, President & CEO, Canlan Ice Sports Corp. "We
are very pleased to announce our naming rights arrangement with
Scotiabank to create Scotia Barn. This represents two
cornerstone companies in the hockey community coming together to
support the health and longevity of grassroots hockey in the lower
mainland."
Work will begin in late 2019 on new signage at Scotia
Barn, with details of a community celebration happening in
early 2020.
In addition to the naming rights of the facility, Rink 2 will
also be named Scotiabank Rink and Scotiabank will have
exclusive title sponsorship of both Public Skating and Winterfest
programs, as well as Scotiabank community programming and events
throughout the hockey season, such as Scotiabank Girls HockeyFest
on March 29, 2020.
Through Scotia Barn, Canlan and Scotiabank will help
expand community hockey programs for young people in Burnaby and the surrounding
neighbourhoods.
