That second quote that Sureloss posted is sure giving it the hard sell lol.
Quote:
Imagine Matthew Tkachuk returning to Calgary wearing Team USA colours, alongside his brother, as Connor McDavid, Sidney Crosby and Co. try to avenge the overtime loss in last month’s Olympic gold-medal game.
Dare to dream Calgary, as plenty of sources suggest the world-class pitch tabled by the Flames and city partners is going to be hard to beat.
The plan goes well beyond hosting games, as Calgary is promising a festival‑style atmosphere built around concerts, fan events, and community celebrations.
Think of the energy that swept through the city during the Olympics, then add the modern production value of a league‑run event.
Imagine the economic impact, the global attention, the chance to christen Scotia Place with the biggest hockey event the city has seen since the Flames’ run to the 2004 Stanley Cup Final.
This is the kind of moment that defines a new arena’s legacy before the paint is even dry.
