Sports Tourism The Brampton Sports and Entertainment Centre (now known as the PowerAde Centre) opened in 1998 and the project was delivered by a private-public partnership. The facility includes four ice surfaces with the main bowl seating approximately 5000 spectators. The project financing was delivered by multiple sources: namely, private investment; the City of Brampton; and debt financing provided by a chartered bank guaranteed by the City of Brampton. Although the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) continues to be a significant source of revenue for the PowerAde Centre, in recent years PA Sports Centre Inc. management has broadened the Centre's revenue base by increasing the quantity and quality of non-OHL spectator events. The hosting of spectator events continues to be a focus for the Centre in order to expand its revenue base. These events include cultural concerts, trade shows, rock concerts and non­ traditional sports such as mixed martial arts. These types of events generate significant facility rental revenue as well as food and beverage capture. PowerAde staff advised that they intend to continue expanding the range of events held at the Centre in order to diminish reliance on OHL game attendance. The Ministry of Tourism decided last year to add Brampton to the Regional Tourism Organization (RTO) area 5 which includes Mississauga and Toronto. This will increase X6-I-H opportunities for the Operator to host more spectator events. Under the RTO #5, all Brampton property and facilities are included in the Toronto tourism network for marketing and promoting venues such as conventions, trade shows and other special events. The City has invested in the PowerAde Centre to maintain it as a modern and attractive asset in Brampton's sports tourism inventory. Today, it is recognized as a premier facility for hosting major sports events. In addition to the OHL Battalion Hockey team, the facility has hosted several important events over the years including a training camp and exhibition game for Team Czech during the Men's IIHF World Junior Championships held in Ottawa several years ago. The 2015 Pan Para Pan American Games also recognized the quality of the facility by selecting it as a host venue for the prestigious event of amateur wrestling (the sport was later rescinded and relocated to another venue to maximize the benefit of a combative sports cluster at one location). The City continues to be focused on building sports excellence capacity, and fostering a dynamic and attractive sports tourism industry in Brampton that generate positive economic impact opportunities. • The PowerAde Centre is a major asset and resource in the City's sports inventory. Economic Benefit of the Brampton Battalion Hockey Club In 1996, the OHL announced that an expansion franchise was awarded to establish the Brampton Battalion in Brampton, Ontario. In 1998, the Brampton Battalion Hockey Club played its inaugural season as a new, privately owned, Ontario Hockey League Major Junior A (Tier I) franchise. The team has made its home at the PowerAde Centre since its inception in 1998. Over the past fourteen years, the Battalion has had a positive impact on and off the ice. The team has made the playoffs twelve of its fourteen seasons, is a four time Central Division Champion (Emms Trophy) and in 2008-09 it was the Eastern Conference Champion (Bobby Orr Trophy). The Battalion is tied in the OHL lead for having the highest number of players, thirty-five, selected in the NHL Entry Draft since 1999. The Club was tied with the Plymouth Whalers for top spot in the OHL 14-1-5 Of the thirty-five Battalion players selected by NHLclubs, six were drafted in the first round including: Matt Duchene (Avalanche), Cody Hodgson (Canucks), Wojtek Wolski (Avalanche), Brent Burns (Wild), Raffi Torres (Islanders) and Rostislav Klesla (Blue Jackets). Off the ice, the team gives back to the Brampton community through various successful programs including the Tim Horton Scholastic Player Awards; CN Community Ticket Program; The Home Depot Coach of the Game Program; Adopt A School Program; Elementary Hockey School Tournament. Based on reported statistics2, between 2000-01 and 2009-10 average attendance at Brampton Battalion home games has ranged from a low of 2,090 to a high of 2,734 spectators. During this same time-frame the OHL average attendance has been between 3,273 and 4,073 per game. Since its inception in 1998, the Battalion has attracted more than 1.2 million spectators to the PowerAde Centre.

  • On Trading, OHL Has a Lot to Learn Players Are Also Students, and Under Plenty of Stress by STEVE SIMMONS -- Toronto Sun
    On trading, OHL has a lot to learn Players are also students, and under plenty of stress By STEVE SIMMONS -- Toronto Sun Why I wouldn't want my son playing in the Ontario Hockey League: They trade kids. They swap teenager for teenager. They preach education but think nothing of bartering young men just days away from exam time. Yesterday, on the day kids returned to high school, a boy named Yves Bastien, who grew up in Northern Ontario and left home to learn his junior hockey and math in Kitchener, found out that he will now be living and playing and schooling in Peterborough. Bastien is all of 17-years-old. This is his draft year. This is his professional ticket. Yes, the OHL treats these kids as though they are professionals. Except they don't pay them a whole lot of anything to be professional. Except most of them, the statistics show, will play low-level professional hockey and never any higher. In fairness, the teams do provide educational packages for their players -- which has been a source of some controversy recently -- but that, on it own isn't enough. "If there's one area we expose ourselves as not always serving (our players) it is in trading players," OHL commissioner David Branch said, clearly uncomfortable with the subject. "I am not one who is in favour of large-scale trading. I think there are valid reasons for some trades ... but we have to continue to find a way to make this right." The OHL has experimented with moving its trading deadline and putting in trading blackout periods, but typically hockey people find their way around the spirit of the rules.
