    PREGAME NOTES 2019 TIM HORTONS NHL HERITAGE CLASSIC WINNIPEG JETS vs. CALGARY FLAMES MOSAIC STADIUM, REGINA, SASK. – OCT. 26, 2019 JETS, FLAMES FACE OFF OUTDOORS The Winnipeg Jets and Calgary Flames face off tonight in the 2019 Tim Hortons NHL Heritage Classic (10 p.m. ET / 8 p.m. CST, CBC, SN1, CITY, TVAS2, NBCSN) – the League’s 28th regular-season outdoor game and fifth in the Heritage Classic series. The Jets and Flames each have participated in one prior outdoor game, both under the Heritage Classic umbrella. Winnipeg played host to the 2016 Tim Hortons NHL Heritage Classic at Investors Group Field, falling 3-0 to the Edmonton Oilers. Nine Jets players who appeared in that game remain with the team: Kyle Connor, Nikolaj Ehlers, Connor Hellebuyck, Patrik Laine, Adam Lowry, Josh Morrissey, Mathieu Perreault, Mark Scheifele and Blake Wheeler. Current Calgary goaltender Cam Talbot started for Edmonton in that contest, stopping all 31 shots he faced for the third shutout in outdoor NHL game history. Current Jets forward Mark Letestu scored the winning goal (while shorthanded), as a member of the Oilers. And current Flames forward Milan Lucic recorded two penalty minutes for Edmonton. Calgary served as hosts for the 2011 Tim Hortons NHL Heritage Classic at McMahon Stadium, defeating the Montreal Canadiens 4-0. Two players who appeared in that game remain with the Flames: Mikael Backlund and Mark Giordano. Overall, the Jets feature 11 players who have participated in a prior outdoor NHL game (minimum: 1 GP in 2019-20), while the Flames have four. Talbot leads that group with four such appearances, though he served as a backup goaltender for three of them (2014 SS w/ NYR [2 GP], 2019 SS w/ PHI).

  • Information Bulletin Bc Place Revitalization Final Cost
    INFORMATION BULLETIN BC PLACE REVITALIZATION FINAL COST VANCOUVER, BC: BC Pavilion Corporation (PavCo) announced today the final cost for the new BC Place is $514 million. The final approved budget for the stadium revitalization project was $563 million. The project was completed $49 million under budget primarily through savings achieved during the Phase 2 Retractable Roof project. BC Place was revitalized in two stages over a period of more than three years, involving more than 5000 skilled professionals and tradespeople. BC Place was awarded ‘Project of the Year’ at the StadiumBusiness Awards in Italy, in May 2012. The stadium has also been nominated for the BC Hydro PowerSmart Excellence Awards in the ‘New Construction’ Category – achieving approximately 38 per cent in electrical savings from eliminating the old air-supported roof. Furthermore, the Rick Hansen foundation recently featured BC Place as an “Accessible Success Story” - for ‘new accessible features of a community facility’. Reopening September 30, 2011, the new BC Place became the new home to Major League Soccer’s Vancouver Whitecaps FC, and home to the returning BC Lions Football Club and the BC Sports Hall of Fame. In its first year, the new multipurpose facility has hosted a wide range of events including: the 99th CFL Grey Cup Championship, 2012 CONCACAF Women's Olympic Qualifying Soccer Tournament, CIS Vanier Cup, BC High School Football Championship, Monster Jam, the 50th Annual Vancouver International Boat Show, BC Home and Garden Show, PlayDome, Vancouver International Auto Show, The Vancouver Sun Run, EAT!

Michael Beane, President, Terraplas USA outline. “Our product line has expanded to include a range of affordable options for stadiums, arenas, ballparks and racecourses,” emphasises Beane. “Since the sales business of Terraplas North America and the rental business of Terraplas USA Rentals were combined within ‘Terraplas USA Inc (TUSA)’ in 2009, our Rental Network has continued to grow, with the opportunity for venues to join the Network and make their Terraplas products available to other venues, offering them a future ROI. The largest growth area is the college “ graduation market, where a number of colleges are opting to hold their graduations in their football stadiums, so attendance by family and friends is not limited.” Beane continues: “The addition of terratrak plus drivable roadway has been the greatest asset to the rental business. This product is made of the same HDPE material as Terraplas, therefore the grass has a much better opportunity to return to ‘normal’ faster than it does with any other system on the market.” Recent North American sales include: BC Place, Vancouver; Georgia Dome; Marlins Park; entertainment staging industry leader Mountain Productions; Busch Stadium; and Citizens Bank Park.
