Title: By-Law No TITLE: CITY SUPPORT OF THE 2010 WORLD JUNIOR HOCKEY Page 1 of 3 CHAMPIONSHIPS PRESENTER: Sandy Trudel / Lois AGENDA NO: McDonald DEPARTMENT: Economic Development DATE: April 14th, 2008 CLEARANCES: Nil ATTACHMENTS: 1. Report (3 pages) APPROVALS: April 14, 2008 14/04/08 Department Head Date City Manager Date SUMMARY OF HISTORY/DISCUSSION & FUNDING: Background In November, 2007 Hockey Canada sent out a call for proposals across Canada to bid to host either/or/both the 2010 and 2012 World Junior Hockey Championships. The World Junior Hockey Championships are considered one of the premiere international sporting events hosted in Canada. The Championships, which attract the worlds best junior hockey players from 10 countries, are estimated to generate gross economic impact of $43.5 Million for Manitoba including visitor expenditures of $10.7 Million. Manitoba last hosted the World Junior Championships in 1999 with a Brandon/Winnipeg partnership. That event was considered the benchmark for attendance and profit up to that period. Subsequent Championships in Halifax in 2003 and Vancouver in 2006 set escalating financial records. The 2009 Championships scheduled for Ottawa have committed a profit guarantee of $12.5 million based on attendance levels of 400,000. 2010 is considered by many as the last opportunity for the World Junior Hockey Championships to be held in a smaller market such as Manitoba. As a result of the 2010 Olympics, all NHL franchise cities have reduced seasons in order to allow their players to participate in the Games. Therefore, they are unable to commit their facilities for another 2 weeks to the hosting of the World Junior Hockey tournament. This presents a unique opportunity for smaller markets like Manitoba to submit a successful bid for this event. The tournament has increased so dramatically in size and requirements that it is unlikely that any community other than a major metropolitan center would be considered in the awarding of the tournament beyond 2010. A Bid Committee consisting of Hockey Manitoba, Destination Winnipeg, True North Sports & Entertainment, the Brandon Wheat Kings, the Keystone Centre, Sport Manitoba, Travel Manitoba and the Province of Manitoba was established to develop the 2010 bid package. The committee, chaired by Mr. Mark Chipman, President of the Manitoba Moose Hockey Club, determined that the best opportunity for success was to bid solely for the 2010 Championships. The competition for the 2010 championships is joint bids from Saskatoon and Regina and Halifax and Moncton. In order to be successful, it is imperative that the Province of Manitoba and Cities of Winnipeg and Brandon dedicate their commitment to landing and implementing this significant event. A letter of intent to submit a formal bid package with a $10,000 deposit was submitted to Hockey Canada on February 1, 2008. A formal bid submission package, based on comprehensive International Ice Hockey Federation and Hockey Canada criteria was submitted on March 31, 2008. Short list presentations will be …/2 TITLE: CITY SUPPORT OF THE 2010 WORLD JUNIOR HOCKEY Page 2 of 3 CHAMPIONSHIPS made in June in Toronto and Hockey Canada announcements of the successful bid will be made in July of 2008. The bid committee has been working closely with the Brandon Wheat Kings, the Keystone Centre and Brandon First on all facets of this joint Brandon/Winnipeg bid. The Bid also has the support of the Brandon Chamber of Commerce, Brandon Tourism and Economic Development Brandon. Volunteers It is estimated that approximately 1,500 volunteers will be required across the Province to ensure the success of this tournament. Between 500 -700 volunteers will be needed to host the Brandon portion of this event. In comparison, the 1997 Canada Summer Games utilized 7,000 volunteers. A strong connection has already been developed with the hockey community, and Brandon’s commitment to volunteer initiatives will ensure that a qualified and professional pool of volunteers will be available to host this event. Training and Games Schedule Brandon has been guaranteed Team Canada’s training camp, which will take place immediately in advance of the tournament. Additionally, three exhibition games (two featuring Canada) will be played at the Keystone Centre in Brandon. Recent rule changes prohibit pools from playing in other communities, so Brandon will not be allowed to host any Canada games in Round Robin play. Brandon will host the Group A pool, which will feature Russia, USA and Sweden. Economic Impact This tournament provides significant economic impact as well as exposure on the international stage. The total economic impact for the Province is estimated at $43.5 million, with Brandon recognizing $7 million in economic impact. Approximately 300 hotel rooms per night will be utilized for athletes, officials, VIP and media over an 8 -14 day period resulting in 2,400 – 4,200 room nights. Rooms for spectators and family will be in addition to this number. Visitors will be in the city for up to two weeks, providing revenue opportunities for many other community businesses. Furthermore, the final two weeks of December are traditionally a slower time for the Keystone Centre, and local hotels. This will create relative ease in accommodating the hosting of this tournament. A handful of Wheat Kings games will require re-scheduling, and the hockey club has already indicated that they are willing to make those changes to their schedule. Any time that a traditionally slow period is filled with a major event of international status, a win-win situation is created. Legacy for Brandon Any time a tournament of this level is hosted, a legacy of community pride, volunteer development and recognition on the international stage remains. In addition, a significant legacy program has been put in place to benefit the Brandon Wheat Kings and hockey throughout our community. A portion of the revenue recognized by the Keystone Centre will be dedicated to improvements within the facility that will streamline hockey operations and create other opportunities for development within the Keystone. Government Support The Province of Manitoba has provided significant support in the way of major financial grants as well as a guarantee of support. The City of Winnipeg has also committed direct financial support as well in-kind services. The Bid Committee is requesting support from the City of Brandon in the amount of $100,000. This is considered to be a direct financial contribution to the event, and will not be repayable to the City at the conclusion of the tournament. In-kind support in the way of operational services may be requested, but has not been confirmed at this point in time. TITLE: CITY SUPPORT OF THE 2010 WORLD JUNIOR HOCKEY Page 3 of 3 CHAMPIONSHIPS To provide some context to this request, previous financial contributions to major events were researched. For those events that information was readily available, city contributions ranged from $5,000 - $250,000 (1997 Canada Summer Games). The City provided the 1997 Canada Summer Games with a $250,000 forgivable loan, of which $80,000 was repaid and invested an additional $2,000,000 in capital. The 1997 Canada Summer Games were estimated to generate approximately a $45 million economic impact for the Province of Manitoba which is comparable to the economic impact projected for the 2010 World Junior Hockey Championships. Economic Impact figures for Brandon were not available. RECOMMENDATION: That $100,000 be expended in 2010 as the City of Brandon’s contribution to the 2010 World Junior Hockey Championships with funds to be budgeted in the Economic Development Office’s 2010 budget. .

  • Maurice Changes Lines at Jets Practice
    Winnipeg Free Press https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/hockey/jets/maurice-changes-lines-at-jets-practice- 473698153.html Maurice changes lines at Jets practice By: Mike Sawatzky The Winnipeg Jets may have the NHL's best home record but there's a price to be paid for all that success. "When you're higher in the standings, and we're close to first, you're going to get teams pretty geared up to play you when they come in," said veteran Jets defenceman Ben Chiarot following practice at Bell MTS Place Saturday afternoon. "This is a tough building to play in and when you put where we are in the standings on top of that, teams are going to come out hard. If we're off one night or sleeping to start, we're going to be off on the wrong foot. "And St. Louis was pretty jacked up to play us." The Jets, mostly outplayed by the Blues in a 5-2 loss to St. Louis Friday night, will have another chance to defend home ice Sunday afternoon (2 p.m., TSN3, TSN 1290) when the New York Rangers make their lone visit of the 2017-18 season. Winnipeg was 20-4-2 at home and tied for top spot in the Central Division while the Rangers were three points out of a wild-card playoff spot in the Eastern Conference heading into Saturday's action. On Thursday, Rangers GM Jeff Gorton sent shockwaves through the league when he announced the club was entering a rebuilding phase and warned the club's fans that a sell-off of major assets was probable prior to the Feb.

Highlights from the first part of the year included: • Camp Manitou operating at full capacity during the summer of 2019, while preparing the commencement of construction of a new lodge. • Pre-COVID, the 2019-20 school year saw 2,000 teachers across Manitoba trained to utilize the online-based Project 11 Mental Health Curriculum, available to all teachers and schools at no cost. • The Winnipeg Jets Hockey Academy (WJHA) grew to include 900 student athletes, providing opportunity to learn both sport and life skills from coaches, mentors, and one another. • Dual effort fundraising occurred, operating both tradition fund generating events (described in this report), and initiating a capital campaign required to grow capacity at Camp Manitou. In the midst of this activity, the effects of the COVID global pandemic began in Manitoba quickly in mid-March 2020, and challenged all facets of the TNYF. The cancellation of NHL/AHL games stopped the 50/50 and other fundraising efforts. The capital campaign was similarly paused, as we all waited to learn the scope impacts of the pandemic. With the transition from regular to home-schooling, normal delivery of programing for each of WJHA, Project 11 and Camp Manitou similarly came to an abrupt halt.

  • Plenty to Be Giving Thanks for High-Flying Jets Spending U.S. Long Weekend in California
    Winnipeg Free Press https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/hockey/jets/plenty-to-be-giving-thanks-for- 459673573.html Plenty to be giving thanks for High-flying Jets spending U.S. long weekend in California By: Jason Bell ANAHEIM, Calif. — It’s really no one’s business — except, perhaps, their bosses’ — what the Winnipeg Jets had planned late Thursday for the rest of American Thanksgiving here in sunny, sweltering southern California. Whether they had a team dinner complete with all the trimmings, split into smaller groups and scattered to enjoy steak or sushi, or simply barricaded themselves at the hotel and ordered room service, the Jets have much to be thankful for right now. The Central Division club is walking tall and looking good as one of the NHL’s premier clubs just past the quarter mark of the 2017-18 season. On Wednesday night, Winnipeg gutted out an impressive 2-1 victory over the Los Angeles Kings — buoyed by a sensational 38-save effort from goalie Steve Mason — to improve to 13-5- 3 and remain second in the Central Division and Western Conference. After 21 games, the Jets find themselves No. 3 overall in the league behind only the powerhouse Tampa Bay Lightning (16-3-2) and the Central Division-rival St. Louis Blues (16-5- 1). The Jets have accumulated the same number of points (29) as both the Columbus Blue Jackets and Toronto Maple Leafs, but have games in hand on those clubs and get the third perch based on winning percentage. Indeed, Winnipeg still has 61 games left on the schedule, and much could change before the Stanley Cup playoffs begin the second week of April.
