Likely because all the I aren't dotted and the T's aren't crossed on important details such as, funding, taxpayer impacts, community impacts from a construction and infrastructure perspective and communication plans on these and many other fronts haven't been worked out and need to before you announce.
You are likely just itching to know about the new rink as a Flames fan and just want details. Many will hear the announcement when it comes and want details on what it means for tax payer dollars, what does it mean for their community if it's near by during construction and after. How will XYZ be handled. Not everyone is going to be excited about this project for multiple reasons and they need to be ready.
Also, ironically, you are asking why it's such a big secret, as you complain about not having details. I'm sure they've learned their lesson on making announcements on things with incomplete info. People of course then want the next level of detail right away, and get frustrated when they don't get updates or their questions can't be answered. So likely waiting until they are able to answer "most" questions before announcing.
