Work has begun on a new 5,400-seat arena for Oshawa. The Venue will be run by Maple Leaf Sports Entertainment and will include a full-time restaurant and community ice facilities.
The Venue will be the home of the OHL Generals. A feasibility report done on the project says it would provide 20 percent more capacity and would generate annual attendance at Generals' games of 175,660. In addition, the facility would likely host the Junior B Oshawa Legionnaires hockey club with an anticipated annual attendance forecast of almost 7,000.
In total, the report projected the facility would host 140 events per year with a total estimated attendance of 290,000. "It is also reasonable to anticipate that in the first year or so, attendance at Generals games would be higher than the projected average given the interest and excitement that the facility would generate," the report said.
