SAINT JOHN, NB, Aug. 30, 2019 /CNW/ - TD Bank Group and the Saint
John Sea Dogs announced today the Sea Dogs' current home arena,
Harbour Station, has been renamed TD Station. The naming
rights come as part of a five-year sponsorship agreement between TD
and the Sea Dogs announced earlier this month.
"We are excited to unveil TD Station as the new home of the
Saint John Sea Dogs," said Jennifer
Auld, Vice President Atlantic Canada, TD Canada Trust. "TD
has a long history of supporting and investing in the communities
we serve, and we are proud to be bringing new and exciting
experiences to the fans, our customers and colleagues in
Saint John."
The name, TD Station, continues the traditions established by
Saint John's Union Station in the 1930s. The area, once a major
railway center at the turn of the 20th century, provided
the base for two majestic railway stationsāUnion Depot, constructed
in 1884, and the grand Union Station, constructed in 1933.
"We're thrilled with the announcement of TD Station," said
Trevor Georgie, President &
General Manager, Saint John Sea Dogs. "The name maintains some of
the history of the original and we look forward to what the future
holds here. 'Sea Dogs win the President Cup/Memorial Cup at TD
Station' has a nice ring to it."
"We are pleased that TD has committed to supporting and
investing in the Saint John
region. It's a great way to begin our 26th year of
serving the members of the community," said Mike Caddell, General Manager, TD Station.
"Harbour Station has hosted over eleven million patrons through its
doors since opening, and we look forward to serving many more with
our new sponsor, TD."
The Saint John Sea Dogs will open the 2019-20 regular season at
home on Friday, September

at TD Station. For ticketing information please visit
