The agreement was set to expire in 2025, but this early naming rights extension adds another 20 years to the existing relationship. In addition, TD Bank has renewed its status as the official bank of the NHL’s Boston Bruins, owned by Delaware North Chairman Jeremy Jacobs, through 2045.
“We are proud to continue our partnership with TD Bank as they share our pride in providing a best-in-class experience for our fans, teams and long-term commitment to our community,” said Delaware North CEO Charlie Jacobs.
