Proceeds from sale to be redeployed to new growth opportunities

Burnaby, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - January 15, 2019) - Canlan Ice Sports Corp. (TSX: ICE), industry-leading providers of recreational sports facilities across North America announced today that after serving the citizens of Montreal for the past 24 years that it intends to sell its four-surface ice facility, Les 4 Glaces, located on the south shore in Brossard, Quebec. All existing programming at the facility, including the Adult Safe Hockey League, will continue to the end of their regular schedule and all will conclude on May 5, 2019.

"As part of our ongoing operations we regularly evaluate the profitability of our business units, in conjunction with asset life cycles," said Joey St-Aubin, President and CEO of Canlan Ice Sports Corp. "At 39 years old, Les 4 Glaces has reached the end of its economic life as a recreational ice rink. While it was a difficult decision to release this asset from the portfolio due to our dedicated staff, contractors and loyal customer base, we are encouraged by the fact that it will help facilitate the community's needs to bring about new and exciting services and/or residential options through the repurposing of the land for the Citizens of Brossard. We will redeploy the proceeds from the sale to other assets and/or to other key strategic markets."

"First and foremost, we would like to thank our staff and our contractors at Les 4 Glaces for their many years of service in growing the business, servicing the customers, and maintaining the facility." Mr. St-Aubin added. "We also want to thank our customers for their ongoing support and patronage and we would like to assure them that we will continue to provide the excellent level of service they have been accustomed to at Les 4 Glaces through to our scheduled closing date of May 5, 2019."

Canlan currently operates a number of youth and adult programs, leagues and tournaments at Les 4 Glaces, which it will look to reposition within the South Shore as a tenant or in partnership with other local operators.
