Rogers Arena with Downtown Vancouver
General Motors Place, or “the Garage” as it’s come to be known by local hockey fans, will be getting a new name after 15 years.
The Vancouver Canucks and General Motors of Canada have agreed on a new sponsorship deal which didn’t include naming rights for the arena.
The Canucks have announced the new name as Rogers Arena, in partnership with Rogers Communications.
Since GM Place’s opening in 1995, the the car manufacturer has had its name on the structure, except during the 2010 Winter Olympics when it was temporarily known as Canada Hockey Place.
