Canadian Hockey Enterprises becomes Pad Naming Right Sponsor at Miskin Law Community Complex

Peterborough, ON - The City of Peterborough is pleased to welcome Canadian Hockey Enterprises (CHE) as a commercial tenant and Pad Naming Right sponsor of the south pad at the new Miskin Law Community Complex, which will open later this year.

Miskin Law Community Complex is a new facility being built at the southeast corner of Lansdowne and Park streets, which will include a twin-pad arena, a Peterborough Public Library branch, an indoor track for walking and running, and multi-use space. When the building opens, the south pad will be called Canadian Hockey Enterprises Pad.

Canadian Hockey Enterprises (CHE) is a local business offering camps and tournaments for adults and youth across North America. CHE is excited for the opportunities and programming that can be offered in Peterborough.

"Canadian Hockey Enterprises (CHE) is proud to call the new Miskin Law Community Complex home. As founder of CHE I can passionately say it's a dream come true for our seven full-time staff. Since 1987 CHE has called Peterborough home and has been organizing and offering International Tournaments and Camps for Men, Women, Boys and Girls. CHE will soon be launching our first CHE Academy here at the Community Complex. Check us out on the second floor and ask about our Hockey Programming or just drop by and say hello," said Paul Crowley, www.chehockey.com.

"Canadian Hockey Enterprises' decision to invest in our community through both a significant sponsorship and by establishing its offices at the Miskin Law Community Complex is a testament to the vibrant future of this facility. Its commitment not only supports the development of our city's sports and recreation infrastructure but also strengthens our local economy. We are excited to see the positive impact it will have on our community and the opportunities it will create for our residents," said Councillor Gary Baldwin and Councillor Lesley Parnell, Community Services (Recreation and Parks, Fire Services, and Arenas) Portfolio Co-Chairs, in a joint statement.

CHE is now the third major sponsor to support the City's newest community complex. Miskin Law has secured the overall naming rights for the complex, which is now known as the Miskin Law Community Complex. Russelle Toyota has secured the Naming Rights to the north pad, and now Canadian Hockey Enterprises will be the name on the south pad. Each of these naming rights sponsorships will collectively contribute more than $1 million toward the project's capital budget.

Additionally, CHE has agreed to a 10-year lease with the City of Peterborough for approximately 161 square metres of space on the upper level of the Miskin Law Community Complex. The space will host CHE's corporate and administrative office. CHE will be responsible for finishing construction costs of its lease space and pay the City a monthly lease rate for the office space.

The City's corporate sponsorship program is pleased to see such a great fit with CHE as a tenant in the building and a Pad Naming Rights Sponsor. Sponsorship staff welcome all discussions with the business and corporate community to identify 'best fit' sponsorships of City programs, services, and facilities. Sponsorship inquires can be directed to Scott Elliott, Manager Corporate Sponsorship, City of Peterborough by email to [email protected].

A groundbreaking ceremony for the new community complex was held on December 8, 2022 to officially mark the start of construction on the new facility. The project remains on time and on budget, with construction expected to be completed this fall.

When construction is completed, there will be a brief period required to move into the space after the contractor hands over the facility. The twin-pad arena and library branch will be prepared for public operations. The City expects to open the facility for limited casual use by the community, such as drop-in public skates and other activities to open the doors to the public, before beginning booked use of the facility by sports organizations and other users.
