Our Co-op and Huron arenas are buzzing with activity throughout the year, and are visited by families with an interest in sports like hockey, FREE skate days, special events, and figure skating!
Whether they are a participant or fans, each visitor is a captive and unique audience for your brand.
Our Access Event Centre arena advertising not only offers a more captive audience compared to other media but typically a much longer viewing time. Hockey rink spectators are often in the stands for 60 minutes at a time, sometimes multiple times per week, leaving ample time for viewing the arenas’ advertising media.
Your advertising dollars not only contribute towards reaching your target demographics but also flow money back into the local community.
