Posted August 31, 20159 yr comment_146956 @ScottBilleck: True North will have a “significant business announcement" today at 10 a.m. at MTS Iceplex. #NHLJets #MBMoose @garylawless: @teacherman8888 not sure but a total guess would be renos to dressing rooms for Jets and Moose
August 31, 20159 yr comment_146962 Since we're guessing, I'd guess it's the retail/commercial/ hotel/ residential development between MTS Centre and the Convention Center.

August 31, 20159 yr Author comment_146965 Shawn Churchill @ShawnChurchill @NHLJets set to announce a multi million dollar expansion to the Ice plex Wasnt this already announced? Announcement taking place at Iceplex so this is probably it.
August 31, 20159 yr comment_146966 Since we're guessing, I'd guess it's the retail/commercial/ hotel/ residential development between MTS Centre and the Convention Center. Here's hoping!! Honestly, as "major" business announcements go, I'd find dressing room & Ice Plex upgrades kind of underwhelming. EDIT: Especially given the contract uncertainty of 2 of the club's most important players.
August 31, 20159 yr comment_146967 Jimmy, agreed. Significant might mean they have the money together. Like saying True Norths canoe subsiduary and ARTEIS are plowing in some many dollars to the Graham ave project.

Underwhelming. But we'll see.
August 31, 20159 yr Author comment_146973 When it's contract info, dont they say "Winnipeg Jets" will make an announcement? "True North" means its not related to hockey ops. Expanding the Iceplex is cool but Im sure that was already announced. I suppose this could be actual details. If I recall, they were going to create offices for both the Jets and Moose...and some other bells and whistles?
August 31, 20159 yr comment_146998 A $7.5-million expansion to MTS Iceplex announced this morning to house #NHLJets and #Moose facilities. pic.twitter.com/lbPkEJUUuj — Darrin Bauming (@DarrinBauming) August 31, 2015 It's a 21,000 square foot addition to the southeast side of the Iceplex. A 48-week project to be completed by the start of the 16-17 season. — Darrin Bauming (@DarrinBauming) August 31, 2015
August 31, 20159 yr comment_147005 Kevin Cheveldayoff says you don't make an investment of this magnitude if the @ManitobaMoose weren't going to stay long-term in Winnipeg. — Darrin Bauming (@DarrinBauming) August 31, 2015
August 31, 20159 yr Author comment_147016 What a change around here. There was a time when people didnt think we could support one pro team let alone two. I wonder when True North made the decision that they could support the Moose long term... its very interesting. The announcement isnt much for the general public but its good for the teams and shows a continued commitment on the part of TN to be as "world class" as possible in how they treat their players.
August 31, 20159 yr comment_147098 Honestly, there have been rumors and talk of this Iceplex expansion for some time and the second i heard the announcement was taking place at the ICEPLEX, i knew that this would be the reason. The True North Square announcement would happen downtown.
