Daktronics will provide a structure with four video displays for the Meridian Centre, a new sports, entertainment and convention centre scheduled to open this September in St. Catharines, Ont.
The venue, home to the Ontario Hockey League’s (OHL’s) Niagara IceDogs hockey team, will raise and lower the structure over centre ice with a permanently installed Daktronics hoist rigging system. Each 2.3 x 4.1-m (7.5 x 13.5-ft) screen will display live video, instant replays, scoring information and sponsors’ ads. In addition to the equipment, Daktronics’ creative services group will produce and deliver content as needed.
“This is part of an ongoing effort to supply products to all of the OHL,” explains Ryan Stratton, Daktronics sales representative.
