Costing $27 million, the Hall has emerged as an innovative leader among sporting shrines with interactive hockey games, numerous exhibitions and renowned trophies on show. For any elite hockey lover, the Hall of Fame experience can be made extra special by privately hiring the entire venue, giving exclusive access to every attraction and facility on offer. Enjoy dinner in the historic Great Hall surrounded by major NHL trophies, take a private tour of the venue with an expert guide, or grab a glove and blocker and feel what it’s like to face the best shooters in the NHL. The Hockey Hall of Fame’s pièce-de-résistance is the legendary Stanley Cup, the oldest professional trophy in North America. Housed in the Great Hall, guests can get up-close to the cup and also take a peek at the original Stanley Cup bowl, donated by Lord Stanley in 1892. With the entire or part-hire of the Hockey Hall of Fame at your disposal, the venue’s events team can tailor their services to your sporting desires, including impressive décor, delectable catering options and fantastic entertainment. elite destination guide | toronto www.elitetraveler.com 4 FORMAL dInIng AT THE HOCKEY HALL OF FAME THE HOCKEY HALL OF FAME T R A V E L E R destinatiOn guide series
