Faizal Khamisa and Chris Johnston discuss the breaking news that the Air Canada Centre will be known as the Scotiabank Arena next summer.
Come July 2018, Air Canada Centre will become Scotiabank Arena after the bank won naming rights for the Toronto multi-purpose venue.
Change is rarely met with optimism, and this was (mostly) no exception.
Here’s how Twitter reacted to the news.
Apparently The Air Canada Centre will be renamed the Scotiabank Arena as of July 1, 2018. Will you still call it the ACC?

People who are upset at the re-naming of a previously corporately named arena…need to go back to yelling about ANYTHING else. #WhoCares

If the Air Canada Centre renaming means the Leafs can afford to keep sending dudes to Robidas Island, I'm all for it.
