The City of St. Catharines approved the construction of a new arena costing $50 million as a home for the Ice Dogs. We believe that the city deserves name recognition for this effort. The Ice Dogs are the only Ontario Hockey League club named after their region and not their city. This has led to confusion about the club's location outside of the region and we would like to see that misunderstanding corrected.
The feedback regarding the rebranding of our hockey club continues to highlight a shared desire for stronger local recognition. I am currently compiling these perspectives to present to city officials during our upcoming discussions.

The level of engagement this petition has received confirms that the community feels strongly about local recognition. Your enthusiasm demonstrates that the current naming convention requires a formal review by leadership.

St Catharines needs the recognition. It is our arena and our tax dollars paying for it so the name should reflect that.
