At the end of August, it was announced that Toronto's Air Canada Centre will be renamed Scotiabank Arena. In simple terms, it is out with an airline company and in with a bank. That change is not exactly breaking news. What is newsworthy is the price tag. Scotiabank will pay $800 million over 20 years for the right to have its name on one of the most signi cant sports complexes in Canada... $800 million is a hefty price. That amounts to $40 million per year, or $3.3 million every month for 20 years. The logic of this mammoth contract is that the bank wants to position itself front-andcentre to the consumers and institutional clients they currently service or hope to do business with in the future. The Air Canada Centre is home to the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Toronto Raptors, plus it hosts signi cant concerts and events. The Raptors, Canada's only NBA franchise, has more than quadrupled in value since 2003. And as of now, the Toronto Maple Leafs, having made the NHL playoffs last year, and who came close to beating the Washington Capitals in the rst round, are the talk of the town.

When considering the $800 million price tag, it helps that the current enthusiasm for the Toronto Maple Leafs and Raptors is growing. But that's just the tip of the iceberg. With the naming rights, Scotiabank will not only position itself in front of consumers who attend games and entertainment events. Its brand will also be front-and-centre across Canada and the U.S. by way of the media with their cameras who report the events, and the sportscasters who call the games and mention the venue. Scotiabank is also counting on boosting the emotional connection its brand has built as `Canada's Hockey Bank'.
