Corydon Comets Logo

Fact Sheet

April 1, 2011 – Sir John Franklin, Community Centre, River Heights Community Centre, and Crescentwood Community Centre amalgamate into one, incorporated as Central Corydon Community Centre.
Amalgamation project began in 2009, following the City of Winnipeg’s ‘Plan 2025’ initiative.
Amalgamation focused on three main initiatives:
1. Improving program availability for children.
2. Lessening the load on volunteers and coordinators.
3. Redeveloping each site to meet the growing needs of the community.

Naming project began in June, 2011.
Team name was suggested by Michaela Briscoe during a contest put on by the Central Corydon Community Centre and posted to their website.

All new jerseys will display the Heritage Crest, sporting the logos of each of the three joined community centres —the Crescentwood Grizzlies, River Heights Cardinals, and Sir John Franklin Explorers — and will preserve the rich histories of each.
Grosvenor Avenue Ice Hockey Federation will be renamed to Corydon Heritage Ice Hockey Federation.
Teams in that league will continue to use the Grizzlies, Cardinals, Explorers, and Sabres names

With new a name and logo, we begin a new legacy for the Central Corydon Community Centre, founded on the same principles the original three centres were built on: collaboration, support, and unity.
New name and logo will begin appearing over next few weeks.
Over time, it will be applied to all team jerseys and community centre spaces.
