As the day continued, I touched base with the dynamic duo of Lauren Wolman, manager of Events and Catie Dillon, coordinator of Events. They have had the challenging task of building out off-ice activities and recreation for teams and staff. Working closely with Michael Bartlett, Duncan Fraser and everyone on the MLSE Event eXperience Team, Lauren and Catie had developed a full menu of activities for everyone. With the combination of a great weather day and no hockey games, everyone made really great use of outdoor spaces. BMO Field was a very popular choice with various lawn games available as well as the pop-up Lakeview bbq. At the Fairmont Royal York campus, the outdoor patio was in full swing with pingpong, corn hole and ladder ball in addition to some great lounge areas. For those looking for an escape from the sun, Catie had arranged three showtimes in the movie theatre at Hotel X. I can't say enough about the dedication, long hours and "roll up their sleeves" attitude of Lauren, Catie and the Event eXperience Team!
