Tribute Communities Centre (TCC) now has a rendering to showcase how the final project might look like.
In April 2025, the City of Oshawa announced the $50-million investment along with historic 30‑year partnerships with the Oshawa Generals Hockey Club of the Oshawa Hockey League (OHL) and Oak View Group (OVG). As operators of the city-owned TCC, Oak View Group is investing in the facility infrastructure, including a modernized concession area.
The project has now been issued for tender, supported by a developed design that will continue to evolve through subsequent phases of the project. A rendering showcasing a first concept of the envisioned front entrance and enhanced streetscape marks a milestone in the transformation of Oshawa’s premier sports and entertainment venue, said a city statement.
The city’s $50-million investment will deliver a revitalized facility that will enhance the experience for fans attending Oshawa Generals OHL hockey games, Oshawa FireWolves NLL lacrosse games, concerts, and other major live events, along with a new prominent home for the Oshawa Sports Hall of Fame.
20 Years Old
First opened in November 2006, and approaching its 20th anniversary, the TCC will undergo extensive upgrades, including:
- a major expansion of the main entrance
- enhanced fan experience features and interior renovations
- updated seating for a minimum capacity of 7,000
- a refreshed concession area
- improved player facilities to support top‑tier talent
A key element of the modernization is the relocation of the Oshawa Sports Hall of Fame to a high‑visibility location at the front of the TCC. The redesigned space will provide 24/7 public exposure to its displays, providing more visibility to showcase and celebrate Oshawa’s rich and accomplished sports heritage.
No Tax Impact, Says City
The modernization will not impact the city’s tax rate. Funding will be sourced through the new agreements with the Oshawa Generals and OVG, the Municipal Accommodation Tax, and additional seat revenue. Construction is anticipated to be phased over two years to maintain facility operations while work is underway.
As the project advances, the city looks forward to sharing additional updates and visuals that highlight the transformation of the TCC.
Mayor Dan Carter said that “As we approach the 20th anniversary of the Tribute Communities Centre, we are excited for this strategic investment in Oshawa’s future – one that will transform the Region’s premier sports and entertainment venue in the heart of downtown Oshawa. The expanded entrance, upgraded seating, and modernized amenities will elevate every event and ensure the TCC continues to meet and exceed the expectations of its fans, performers and athletes and of our valued partners.”
