Eric Francis ‏@EricFrancis now King: "all hockey equipment is lost and we have already started ordering more equipment."

[Drury18]

Believe's insurance is full and intact, should cover entire costs of repairs.

They are not waiting, restoration equipment ordered and hockey equipment for prospect camp is ordered right away.

Libby: They are going to have consultant's in to take a look at the structural integrity of the building. Believes all is intact, but will be looked at.

[Drury18]

King: Goal and Objectives is to be ready for Training Camp. No alternate plans being made yet. Need to get in and pump water before they have better timelines but plan on being open.

[Drury18]

King: Have not talked to league about adjusting schedule. Know they have been good with situations in Boston and other cities and have no concerns about the schedule.

[Drury18]

King: I don't think this effects it (the plans of a new rink) of all.

[Drury18]

King: Jim Peplinki's contact got saved. Some memorabilia was saved. Some electronics moved up in a great rush. Many bodies as able were in moving things. No one in the city anticipated the gravity of the flood and what it would get to.

King: Photo's and video's are very difficult to describe. Stage is floating. Dressing rooms are totally submerged. Anything on that (event level) is drowned. Everything.

#### off cbc why would you cut away!?

[Drury18]

King: Meeting at 9am planned for restoration. The Stampeders have offered up office space to continues operations.

[Drury18]

King: I think its wonderful and a great outreach, but right now little can be done now (to help out Flames). They will record and determine if anyone can help out.

Libby: Please stay away from site. If we need help later, we will communicate it.

[Drury18]

Libby: Water is receding now.
