Naming rights have been purchased for C$1.62 million by the Windsor Family Credit Union for the team’s new arena, now under construction.
The funds will be paid quarterly over 10 years to the city in an agreement reached between the city, credit union and the Windsor Spitfires – the main tenant of the sport complex.
The current arena offers a suite on the glass that seats 30 fans for $1,200 per match. (Facilities, Financial, Ice Hockey, Professional Sports)
