Maple Leafs Sports & Entertainment has signed MasterCard Canada as the title partner of the new Maple Leafs and AHL Toronto Marlies practice facility. The facility, which features three NHL-size ice pads and one Olympic-size pad, will be known as the MasterCard Centre for Hockey Excellence as part of the five-year agreement. Financial terms were not disclosed. Under terms of the deal, MasterCard will see its name and logo on exterior and interior signage, in-ice logos, dasherboards, event tickets and the zamboni. The company also will receive a special display area and serve as the preferred card at point-of-sale locations.

It is owned by the Lakeshore Lions Club, and the Leafs and Marlies are its lead tenants.
