Proposed Markham Arena

A proposed 20,000 seat arena to be located in Markham, Ontario, just off of Highway 407, which to be tentatively named the GTA Centre was in the planning stages in the early part of the 2010's for a proposed second Greater Toronto Area National Hockey League franchise. The planned cost of the arena was $325 million (CAD). The arena plan would end up being dropped when the mayor of Markham had removed his support for the financial package which essentially killed the project. The Toronto Star reported that the city received incorrect information regarding the project from and about Graeme Roustan who was the main person behind the project.
