Episode Details

Canadas hockey arenas face challenges, with many over sixty years old. The NHL and NHL Players Association, along with SAP, launched a competition to modernize rinks and boost access. Over six hundred students from thirty-six schools submitted ideas, with six finalists pitching at the Ottawa Senators home rink. The Innovator Award was shared between a solo student from Queens University and a team from St. Clair College. First-place ideas included retrofitting old arenas and using AI for fan experiences. A University of Guelph team won the Changemaker Award for kinetic floors that turn fan steps into renewable energy. These student visions aim to cut costs, go green, and grow the sport in Canada.
