It looks like a bunch of rooms at a convention center. The bathroom and hottub areas look nice though.

For as rich as the Creator is, he can't even have built-in wooden benches? Just 40 dollar folding chairs?

Compare this to the Sabres: http://1.cdn.nhle.com/sabres/images/upload/gallery/2011/10/BW3_6224_slide.jpg

Or the Leafs: https://hockeylandcanada.files.wordpress.com/2013/11/leafs_locker_room.jpg

I have to imagine renovating the locker rooms is going to be a project within 3 years.

I have seen nicer locker rooms in suburban Detroit ice arenas. High school teams have nicer lockers.

That is an older version of the Leads locker room too. Note the jerseys.

I think the locker rooms and almost everything are meant to be refurbished, that's not a permanent setup. Or hey, the team is relocate ready!

they went to wal mart and didn't know what to get for a hockey team but they knew they were going to need a bunch of folding chairs and some airport carpet.

the medical room has 2 coffee tables and 2 folding chairs. ok, maybe they are going to put the bed in later, that's more reasonable than the carpet, but why even put anything in there then? same thing with the street close changing room, why put 2 dozen folding chairs in there if you are presumable just going to put another set of lockers in there down the road? i hope they donate all these folding chairs eventually

Are they supposed to be just shoving duffel bags under their personal folding chair? I don't see anything else in this room, or room for much else for that matter.

Yeah, just stuff your bag under the chair. Real NHL quality facilities.

The Joe Louis Arena had nicer locker rooms 20 years ago, and not only of the wings moving out of there after this season, but the original architect apologized in the Detroit news paper for not including any amenities in the building.

The visiting team will need to change in the arena concourse, or change back in their hotel rooms and ride the bus over in full equipment.

Better idea, they change in their hotel room and put on roller guards as seen below, then they synchronized skate down the strip to the arena putting on a show for all the tourists.

It's cool they're starting off with lovely facilities because if it's one thing players easily ignore, is how their day-to-day workplace is.


Some away locker rooms look nicer than that.

It opened this year so I'm guessing it was built with an NHL team in mind.
