Show Notes
Calgary Mayor Jeromy Farkas meets with NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman to discuss bidding for the 2028 World Cup of Hockey. The new arena, set to open in 2027, could be a major selling point. A joint effort with Edmonton is likely, aiming for the second biggest hockey event of the year. The province may contribute up to $15 million, but no deals are signed yet. Farkas, once critical of arena funding, now leaves it to council. Commissioner Bettman has pushed for a new venue, with a media session Tuesday but no announcements expected.
