(G.H.I.) by providing up to $200,000 of in-kind services as outlined in Section 6.1; and, 2. That a copy of Report CM-16-28 be forwarded to the Region of Durham’s Economic Development Department as information to assist in their review for support of the Generals Hockey Inc.’s bid. 3.0 Executive Summary Not applicable. 4.0 Input From Other Sources • Comparative Municipalities • Spectra Venue Management • Generals Hockey Inc. (G.H.I.) Report to Council in Committee of the Whole Item: CM-16-28 Meeting Date: October 6, 2016 Page 2 5.0 Analysis 5.1 Background Durham Region and the City of Oshawa are recognized as premier sport tourism destinations as we are a sports-minded, active community with extensive experience hosting successful sport tourism events. Specifically, Oshawa has hosted at the General Motors Centre the TORONTO 2015 Pan Am/Parapan Am Games (2015), National Pinty’s Grand Slam of Curling (2015), International Ice Hockey Federation World Junior Hockey Championships (2014), BMO Canadian Open Grand Slam of Curling (2011) and BMO Skate Canada Provincial Synchronized Skating Championships (2009). These sports tourism events generated local economic spin-offs as well as positive media coverage. The opportunity to host the 2018 Memorial Cup would result in significant economic spin- offs and national media coverage for the City of Oshawa and further strengthen our position as a premier sport tourism destination. The Oshawa Generals is one of the oldest and most decorated franchises in the Canadian Hockey League (C.H.L.), and the oldest in the Ontario Hockey League (O.H.L.). In their 79-year history, the Generals have won the J. Ross Robertson Cup, which is awarded to the O.H.L. Champions, a record of 13 times. In addition, they have been crowned Memorial Cup Champions five times (the latest was in 2015 ); the most of any current active C.H.L. team. The organization is also known for their ability to develop junior hockey players into professional players. To date, the Generals have over 180 graduates to the National Hockey League. On July 20, 2016, G.H.I. made the City aware of their interest in bidding on the 2018 Memorial Cup. On July 26, 2016, the City was invited to a meeting to discuss Memorial Cup bid requirements and associated timelines. On July 27, a summary list of requested support was received from G.H.I. Staff reviewed this information; however, given the tight time constraints, they were only able to advise Council at a rudimentary level. At a special meeting of Council held on August 24, 2016, the following motion was adopted: “Therefore be it resolved that Oshawa City Council support in principle, without any financial commitments at this time, the Oshawa Generals Hockey Club’s bid for the 100th Anniversary Memorial Cup in 2018 and provide a letter indicating such support; and further, That staff be directed to work with the Oshawa Generals Hockey Club on their bid to host the 2018 Memorial Cup and bring a report to Council for consideration and approval of the financial commitment required to support the Club’s bid.” The timing of this report was delayed as a result of the work associated with securing a Naming Rights Sponsor as a priority. Report to Council in Committee of the Whole Item: CM-16-28 Meeting Date: October 6, 2016 Page 3 5.2 2018 Memorial Cup Bid Guidelines – Government and City Support The 2018 MasterCard Memorial Cup Bid Guidelines outline local government and city involvement as: “Creating a positive impression and legacy for host city should be an element of bid and should include a detailed plan of provincial/local government and city support around the MasterCard Memorial Cup. • The bid shall detail any and all planned support levels from provincial/local government(s) to host the MasterCard Memorial Cup. Only the CHL shall be permitted to approach the national government for any kind of funding. • Outline of City support and activation plan (street cleaning, street closures, noise bylaws, garbage and recycling, parking, etc) • City Tourism board involvement to track economic impact to ensure visitors enjoyment. • Police and Fire involvement within the arena and at external events for security and safety. • Such support may include among any other areas, promotional support for the overall event, individual game promotion, or any other special events that you may wish to have during the MasterCard Memorial Cup week in your centre.” 5.3 Review of Other Municipalities Red Deer Alberta and surrounding area has a population of approximately 99,832 and a budget of $341.9M Operating and $160.6M Capital. It is a single-tier municipality that hosted the Memorial Cup in 2016. The bid was put forward through the Red Deer Rebels. Red Deer supported the Rebels’ bid in the form of $200,000 in cash and some in-kind services. Quebec City has a population of approximately 541,000 and a budget of $1,403.6M Operating and a Capital budget of $1,396M. It is a single-tier municipality that hosted the Memorial Cup in 2015. The bid was put forward through Remparts de Quebec with City Support in the form of $500,000 cash. City of London has a population of approximately 366,000 and a total budget of $530M Operating and $197.9M Capital. It is a single-tier municipality that hosted the Memorial Cup in 2014. The bid was put forward through London Knights with City Support in the form of approximately $88.5K and in-kind services. It should be noted that the details of support for each of the municipalities above were challenging to assemble as the bids were made through the Canadian Hockey League teams and not the municipality, and therefore, not readily available.

  • Appendix “A” July 2, 2013 J. Winston General Manager, Tourism London RE: City Financial Support of the 2014 Memorial Cup Ba
    Appendix “A” July 2, 2013 J. Winston General Manager, Tourism London RE: City Financial support of the 2014 Memorial Cup Background: The 2013 Mastercard Memorial Cup was won by the Halifax Mooseheads. Nathan MacKinnon’s hat trick earned his team their very first Memorial Cup Championship at the defeat of the Portland Winterhawks. Other teams in the tournament included the hometown Saskatoon Blades and our own, London Knights. With teams, family members, scouts, and spectators coming to Saskatoon from across the country, the Memorial Cup generated a considerable economic impact for the host city. The same will hold true when London hosts this tournament in May, 2014. The direct economic impact of this event to the City of London is estimated to be between 8M and 10M. This report outlines the request for support up to the sum of $100,000.00 in support of the 2014 Mastercard Memorial Cup in London, Ontario. This support will provide enhanced services to the event to ensure that certain deficiencies can be rectified. For example, a dehumidification may be retained in the event of warm, damp weather as this affects the quality of the ice surface for the players. Additional monies may be required to construct temporary storage and change room facilities for visiting teams ‘back of house’ at the Budweiser Gardens. A defined cost cannot be quantified at this time and therefore, the ask is positioned up to $100,000.00 as a safeguard for contingencies. Tourism London will match the 100,000.00 from our own operating budget. This is an investment in host city reputation – enhancing London’s standing as a ‘do it right’ host city for premier events, like the 2014 Mastercard Memorial Cup.

  • WESTERN MUSTANGS YEARLY RECORD in U SPORTS CUP
    MEN'S HOCKEYALL-TIME HEAD CFLCOACH DRAFT LIST CLARKE SINGER The 2019-20 season is Singers 20th as head coach of the Western Mustangs, Clarke Singer has an incredible regular season coaching record of 368-126-21 over those years which averages out to a .730 winning percentage. Since taking over as head coach in 1999, Singer has proven to be one of the sport’s elite coaches in Canada, coaching Western to a CIS National Championship in 2002, a silver medal finish at CIS Nationals in 2009, and guided the team to Queen’s Cup provincial titles in 2005 and 2009. Singer has been named the OUA Coach of the Year seven times during his tenure as head coach (1999-00, 2000-01, 2001- 02, 2002-03, 2005-06, 2010-11, 2011-12). He was also named the CIS Coach of the Year in the 2001-02 season. Added to those feats is the seven straight OUA Far West regular season titles Singer guided the team to in his first seven years as head coach of the Mustangs. The native of Stratford, Ontario first joined the Mustangs’ hockey program in 1991 as an assistant coach for Barry Martinelli while completing his Master of Arts in Kinesiology (Coaching) degree at Western. After the 1993 season, Singer travelled to Norway where he coached in the Norwegian Elite Series from 1994-1997 with Trondheim and Fredrikstad. Following a successful campaign in Europe, Singer returned to Western for a second stint as an assistant to Martinelli. In the 1998-99 season, Singer was promoted to the position of associate head coach and was then named head coach of the Western Mustangs for the 1999-2000 season.
