Donation Agreement with Hockey Hall of Fame and Museum EP15.31 REPORT FOR ACTION Donation Agreement with Hockey Hall of Fame and Museum Date: November 1, 2018 To: The Board of Governors of Exhibition Place From: Dianne Young, Chief Executive Officer Wards: All Wards SUMMARY This report recommends that the Board approve of the transfer of the artifacts known as the ceramic National Hockey League emblems ("NHL Emblems") (see Schedule A to the Letter of Intent attached as Appendix A) which are owned by the City of Toronto and maintained by the Board to the Hockey Hall of Fame and Museum on the terms and conditions set out in the Letter of Intent attached as Appendix A to this report. RECOMMENDATIONS The Chief Executive Officer recommends that: 1. The Board approve the terms and conditions of the Donation Agreement to the Hockey Hall of Fame and Museum, of the NHL Emblems as set out in Appendix A, and direct the Chief Executive Officer to work with the City of Toronto Planning Division to: a. Undertake the necessary changes to the Heritage Easement Agreement respecting the transfer of the NHL Emblems; and b. Coordinate the approval by City Council of both the Donation Agreement and the Heritage Easement Agreement amendments. FINANCIAL IMPACT There are no negative financial implications arising from this report. However, in 2012 the NHL Emblems were appraised at a fair market value of $75,000. Donation Agreement Page 1 of 4 DECISION HISTORY The Exhibition Place 2017 – 2019 Strategic Plan has Recognition and Understanding Goal to enhance the profile of Exhibition Place cultural mandate and as a strategy to develop directions to refurbish heritage displays. At its meeting of October 19, 2005, the Board approved of the demolition of the Halls of Fame Building in order to construct a Soccer Stadium on that site. At its meeting of October 26, 27, 28, 2005, City Council approved of the demolition and the construction of a Soccer Stadium. https://www.toronto.ca/legdocs/2005/agendas/council/cc051026/pof9rpt/cl036.pdf At its meeting of January 31, February 1, 2, 2006, City Council approved of a Heritage Easement Agreement relating to the Halls of Fame Building. https://www.toronto.ca/legdocs/2006/agendas/council/cc060131/cofa.pdf COMMENTS The Hockey Hall of Fame was constructed at Exhibition Place in 1961 south of the Food Building. Six years later, in 1967, an identical, easterly wing was constructed to house Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame. Together, the Hockey Hall of Fame and the Sports Hall of Fame made up the building known as the Halls of Fame Building at Exhibition Place. This building was demolished in 2006 in order to allow for the construction of a Soccer Stadium. Located in, and forming part of the wall in the central south vestibule of the Halls of Fame Building, were 18 ceramic emblems that commemorated the NHL league teams as existed in 1961 when the Hockey Hall of Fame was built. The emblems depict each team’s logo in colour enamels on a copper base as detailed in the chart below and attached as Schedule A to Appendix A of this report. Plaque Name Size Boston Bruins 15” x 16” Buffalo Sabres 12 ½ “ in diameter Chicago Blackhawks 14” x 14” Detroit Red Wings 15” x 7” Los Angeles Kings 11” x 12 ½ “ Montreal Canadians 10” x 14” New York Islanders 12 ½” in diameter New York Rangers 11” x 15” Philadelphia Flyers 13” x 9 ½” Pittsburgh Penguins 13 ½” in diameter St. Louis Blues 14” x 9” Toronto Maple Leafs 12” x 12” Donation Agreement Page 2 of 4 Vancouver Canucks (old logo) 12 ½” x 8 ½” Washington Capitals 14” x 8 “ Atlanta Flames 10 ½” x 9” Oakland Seals 13” in diameter Minnesota North Stars 14” x 12” Kansas City Scouts 12 ½” in diameter In 1993, the Hockey Hall of Fame and Museum relocated to downtown Toronto. While the NHL Emblems were directly associated with this cultural enterprise, because the NHL Emblems were embedded and formed part of the wall of the main vestibule to the building, they were not moveable assets. With the demolition of the Halls of Fame building in 2006, the NHL Emblems were removed from the vestibule wall of that building and have been stored at Exhibition Place since that time. Given the size, weight and nature of the NHL Emblems, it is very unlikely that they will ever be used in an Exhibition Place exhibit. Exhibition Place staff approached the Hockey Hall of Fame and Museum who are very interested in receiving the NHL Emblems to be part of the Hockey Hall of Fame archival collection and available for display at its present venue in downtown Toronto. The Hockey Hall of Fame and Museum have also agreed to assume responsibility for all costs of removing the NHL Emblems from Exhibition Place and restoring them for display use. This would again allow the NHL Emblems to be in the public domain as they were when located in the former Halls of Fame. As noted above, when the Halls of Fame Building was demolished, Exhibition Place entered into a Heritage Easement Agreement respecting the preservation of certain heritage elements of the former building including the NHL Emblems. Exhibition Place staff have consulted with City of Toronto Heritage Division and City of Toronto Planning Division about the transfer of the NHL Emblems to the Hockey Hall of Fame and Museum and they are in agreement with this direction and the terms and conditions of the Donation Agreement detailed in Appendix A. In addition to approval of the Donation Agreement by City Council, an amendment to the Heritage Easement Agreement would also have to be approved by Council before the final agreement can be executed.

  • Montreal Canadiens, Detroit Red Wings Destination: Europe the Canadiens and Red Wings Become the First Teams to Play a Series of Postseason Exhibition Games in Europe
    NHL OVERSEAS HISTORY 1938: Montreal Canadiens, Detroit Red Wings Destination: Europe The Canadiens and Red Wings become the first teams to play a series of postseason exhibition games in Europe. New York Herald Tribune sportswriter Sparrow Robertson on the games played in Paris: "The professional ice hockey players of the two teams in Paris are a fine lot of players. Next week the two teams are scheduled to play in London and the hockey enthusiasts of the big city will see the fastest competition game played by humans as it should be played. It is really thrilling to witness ice hockey such as we have seen played in Paris by the Montreal Canadiens and Detroit Red Wings." May 1959: Boston Bruins, New York Rangers Destination: Europe After the 1959 season, the Boston Bruins and New York Rangers embarked on a 10-city, 23- game European tour. The Bruins had finished second in the six-team league that year, while the Rangers had placed fifth. But European fans were treated to competitive, exciting games and introduced to some of North America's brightest stars. The tour stopped in London, England; Geneva, Switzerland; Paris, France; Antwerp, Belgium; Zurich, Switzerland; Dortmund, Germany; Essen Germany; Krekfeld, Germany; Berlin, Germany and Vienna, Austria. April 1976: Washington Capitals, Kansas City Scouts Destination: Japan The second-year Scouts, who would later become the Colorado Rockies and then the New Jersey Devils, faced the Washington Capitals, also a second-year franchise, in a four-game series in Tokyo and Sapporo. The Caps, who had finished the regular season at the foot of the Wales Conference standings, handed the Scouts, the bottom team in the Campbell Conference, a 3-1 defeat in the series.

  • Master Thesis
    Master Thesis Location decisions in professional ice hockey “Is the Greater Toronto/Southern Ontario region a viable market for National Hockey League relocation?” Rijksuniversiteit Groningen Faculteit der Ruimtelijke wetenschappen Jaïr de Paauw S1573152 28-09-2007 Eerste Begeleider: Drs. P.J.M. van Steen Tweede Begeleider: Dr. P.R.A. Terpstra Preface This paper is the result of a thesis research concluding the master Economic Geography at the Rijksuniversiteit Groningen. This research has been conducted at the State University of New York at Geneseo, thanks to the partnership the between the two respective spatial sciences faculties and adds an international dimension to my master thesis. The research topic is franchise relocations in professional sports, and in particular in ice hockey. Being an avid hockey fan myself, this topic appeals to me. The phenomenon that hockey franchises could just move, and especially move from Canadian cities that breathe hockey, to Sunbelt cities has always fascinated me. By this research I was able to combine two passions; hockey and geography. While conducting my research I soon realized how complex and sometimes illogic geographical decisions made in the American sports industry are. It triggered me to continue my research with the same enthusiasm as when I started. Apart from remaining interested in this dynamic topic throughout the research, the actual research and its practical implementations caused a whole new learning experience as well. Concluding the entire thesis experience has been interesting and helpful in obtaining academic knowledge. Even though the research was conducted abroad and regularly meetings with my advisor were not possible, I remained in contact by e-mail, and the cooperation was very pleasant and productive.
