Confirmed with Link: Bell MTS Place to be renamed Canada Life Centre

[buggs]

Sure why not

Would be a better story if it was called Salisbury House Center but such is life

Oh, oh. Chili Nip.

I feel like Canada Life didn't think this through - everyone is just going to call it the CLC.

 

[Buffdog]

Too bad that a local company can't afford naming rights

"Salisbury House Centre" has a nice ring to it

 

[Ondrej The Giant]

Just call it the LC. Deep roots in MB.

Am I being silly to think Canada Life thought it would be a good fit because they expect allot of Manitobans to sign up for life insurance. Us being labeled as the covid capital of the world hasn't exactly helped our health profile.

Still going to calling it MTSCENTER...
BellMtsplace never caught on...
Maybe we just call it 402 Squadron...
402 Squadron - Wikipedia
A WW2 fighter Squadron made up of volunteers from Winnipeg... I can’t think of a better nickname for the home of the Winnipeg Jets...
If the name of the arena is going to change every few years anyways...

That'd be nice. Maybe Pho Q can afford the naming rights in Vancouver.

Restaurant Menu - Pho Q&M

That'd be perfect if Maurice ever coaches the Canucks.

Why can't arena's have cool names. I miss the Igloo and the Sharktank. It's obvious it should be called the Hangar.

No Frills Centre is my pick

 

[Cypruss]

Hope it can be the Dr. J centre when these rights expire....

Dude is famous!

New name - the Klik can

Better than "BellMTS Place" IMO, especially since it's just two regular words, not some weird company jargon
The tie-in to Canada is nice as well, like they used to have in Toronto (Air Canada)
I hope they stop changing it all the time though, just confuses people

 

[Skidooboy]

who the f*** cares. another giant soulless corporation gives another arena a stupid corporate name for a couple years. stupid name, stupid company. both will be utterly forgettable about 2 mins after the contract runs out.

I'll go watch the Jets. and I for sure won't be spending a penny on anything Canada life sells.

Canada Life is local.

 

[Haywire]

I just hate the idea of that ugly red box "life" on our helmets. The white "Bell" blended in nicely and was hardly noticeable.

The helmet ad is here to stay?

Once something makes someone more money it doesn't go away.

Bit of an overreaction, maybe? Did a giant corporation kick your puppy?

Given the sedate (or maybe sedated) crowds over the last couple of seasons (pre-covid, obviously), I guess True North figured this was the only way to get some life in the building.

 

[John Agar]

Club a seal arena...

Great...

 

[Mud Turtle]

Instead of “Canada Life Centre” maybe it should be called “Canada-let’s get our life back-Centre.”

 

[Neuf]

They dodged a bullet not doing this last year and then getting called the Canada Life-less Centre during round 2 against the Habs.

Jokes aside, much better than BellMTS Place or BM Place or BMTSP or whatever the proper abbreviation there was.

 

[Gabe Kupari]

Put me in the it's irrelevant and doesn't make 2 shits of a difference for me. How much they get for the rights.... Thats the only relevant part but even then it's not.
