So no skating/ice for Hometown hockey?

Oh oh, no ice in Ice District? Is their marketing going off brand again?

I had that thought too. Why exactly is the scaffolding there? what is being worked on in that vicinity?

It's part of the tower window work where they are adding a film to the glazing (I believe) to help prevent issues where glazing units pop or crack and potentially fall. Until that work is complete, this scaffolding will remain.

Has there been any rumblings of timeline for that work to be done?

^^^^ This project is weather-impacted making it hard to place deadlines.

Does anyone know why on the larger three sided media towers they only put two screens instead of three? The flat grey medal on the one side makes them look awkward and disproportionate.

Are we sure those are simply not electrified yet?

Perhaps a static display?

I was looking at them last week and it’s definitely just a metal cover.
