A small stage area will complete the Courtyard for guest entertainment”. Intermission will feature spectator fun events, puck shooting contests, and more will be introduced.

Canadian Tire Pembroke, as one of our premium partners, is positioned front and centre with bench seating logos, and identification from top to bottom. This is an area for groups and enthusiast fans to hoot, holler, whistle and cheer on the Kings”. Ms. Fraser is also excited to announce the creation of the V.I.P. Lounge for sponsors, partners and long term team supporters. Located upstairs above the nets, the new ‘VIP GOAL ZONE’ will offer adult beverages served from Bogies Bar, comfort seating, food menu, table service, along with Improved sound and television feeds projecting the on going game below. “Recognizing the importance of improving benefits and value to our expanding sponsor base, it is imperative to develop and utilize this area of the PMC,” she continued. “The VIP Goal Zone will provide an opportunity for young professionals, business owners and sponsors to network; come out to a game for a bite and a chance to meet with old and new friends”. This upcoming season will feature theme nights, guest celebrities, special events, and community recognition throughout the year and much, much more. But, most important?
