The average American hockey fan might be seeing this, and thinking Isn’t there already a Scotia Place? This is understandable. I am here to help.
It’s actually very simple. Scotia Place, with the naming rights owned by Scotiabank, Canada’s third-largest bank, is not to be confused with the hoary Scotiabank Saddledome, the Flames' current building. It is also not to be confused with Scotiabank Arena, which is where the Maple Leafs play in Toronto. It is also also not to be confused with the Senators' home in Ottawa, which used to be called Scotiabank Place. (It’s now the Canadian Tire Centre, with the rights owned by Canadian Tire, a Canadian retail chain/currency issuer that mostly sells things that aren’t tires.) But you would never mistake Scotiabank Place for Scotia Place; I have more faith in you than that.
None of these buildings are in Nova Scotia. That would just be confusing.
