After a thorough assessment of #RogersPlace & associated facilities it has been determined the damage experienced last night was due to significant water flow mixed with hail, which led to excess pressure on the facility's storm drainage system causing two pipe couplings to fail.
One was located above the terminus of Ford Hall & the other was located on the mezzanine level corridor on the southwest side of #RogersPlace. The water damage is restricted to those two areas of the building, with the terminus experiencing more significant water damage.
Crews have begun work on the affected areas & we do not foresee any significant delays or barriers to either #Oilers training camp or preparations & activities related to our hosting as @NHL hub city for the 2020 #StanleyCup Playoffs.
