The owners of the United Center are moving forward with a proposal to create a $7 billion entertainment district around the venue, including housing and a concert hall. The project will start in the Spring, and take about a decade to complete. The city is already kicking in money to upgrade public transit in the area, otherwise the project is privately funded.

This is an addition to a planned 5 additional sheets of ice the Hawks are in the process of opening in my neighborhood, which I hope they will use to woo either an OHL team or the Chicago Steel.

Meanwhile in District Detroit. . .

THE PROVINCE: Longtime Sportsnet host Jeff Marek has left the network. His last appearance was during their coverage of the first round of the 2024 NHL Draft on June 28. He hasn’t updated his X (formerly Twitter) account since then. A Sportsnet spokesman confirmed Marek no longer works for the network but declined to provide details.

"It’s rumored Marek’s departure was for “unconfirmed draft reasons.” His mysterious absence raised concern and questions on social media. Marek is among the most approachable and helpful personalities in the NHL media. Here’s hoping he’s ok and we hear from him again soon."

I liked Marek. I liked his old HNIC Radio show on Sirius
I wonder if he had a bad interview or something at the draft.
There was one interview that was awkward and cut short for the next pick.

I saw a clip of one yesterday. Marek was interviewing one kid who had a mike in his right hand, but held it a little too low to be heard, I think. Marek reached over a couple of times and would raise the guys arm back up so he could be heard when speaking. Maybe that didn't go over too well, and someone complained about Marek touching the young fellow.

Minnesota just drove up Moritz Seider's contract, signing Brock Faber to an eight-year contract extension worth 8.5 AAV.

Yzerman should’ve had the RFAs locked up by now
But yeah Seider’s agents are probably giddy about this
