EDMONTON, AB, MAR 3, 2021 – Today, Oilers Entertainment Group (OEG) announced the
launch of ICE District Hospitality for the start of the 2021-22 NHL season, with Compass Group
Canada and Levy to enhance the fan experience at Rogers Place and the surrounding ICE
District. ICE District Hospitality is a part of OEG’s long-term vision for its food and beverage
business and will tap into Compass Group Canada’s operational expertise, as Canada’s leading
foodservice company and Levy, a specialized sports and entertainment provider within the
Compass Group portfolio. Levy will support ICE District Hospitality through its experience as the
market-leader in delivering world-class hospitality at major sports and entertainment venues and
iconic events.

“ICE District Hospitality will build upon a strong foundation to elevate the food and beverage
offering for our guests, while creating an integrated hospitality experience across ICE District,”
said OEG Business President & COO Tom Anselmi. “We are delighted to work with Compass
Group Canada and Levy to bring their experience and creativity to ICE District. We will create a
signature experience for guests to ICE District and it starts with fresh, diverse and inspired food
and beverage choices, delivered with exceptional service.”

“We thank Aramark for spearheading the launch of our food and beverage program at Rogers
Place during our first five years of operation,” Anselmi added.

ICE District Hospitality will be responsible for the Rogers Place food and beverage program,
including general concessions, suites and club level dining, restaurants and catering. ICE
District Hospitality will also work within a broader, integrated food & beverage program for ICE
District, working with its sister company, Oliver & Bonacini, to build off the success of its initial
offerings – Braven, Kindred and Alchemy. At the core of ICE District Hospitality will be a focus
on elevated hospitality embracing the very best ingredients from local farmers and purveyors,
fused with the dynamic and diverse Edmonton culinary landscape. The company is also
committed to hiring local hospitality industry talent to help deliver the experience.

“OEG has created an entertainment destination in ICE District that is on par with any you’ll find
around the world,” said Andy Lansing, President and CEO of Levy. “We’re honored to join OEG
in fulfilling the vision of the District. From delivering the experiences that Oilers fans enjoy most
to creating new, signature hospitality experiences throughout the district. Through it all, we’ll
continue to work with the community and Edmonton’s incredible hospitality talent.”
Levy and Compass Group Canada, both sectors within the portfolio of parent company
Compass Group, will join OEG to bring ICE District Hospitality to life. Levy will support the
development of unique hospitality concepts and programming, and Compass Group Canada will
provide the operational expertise and resources.

Levy is known for creating many of the most acclaimed food and beverage experiences in
sports and entertainment, from food hall collaborations with local restaurants in concessions
and personalized service in premier clubs and suites, to dining and entertainment districts that
operate year-round. Levy’s partners include a market-leading roster of major arenas across the
continent, including Bell Centre in Montreal, Barclays Center in Brooklyn, United Center in
Chicago, and Staples Center in LA, as well as Michelin Star restaurants and award-winning
cultural attractions. In crafting hospitality for premium seating areas in Rogers Place, Levy will
also tap into its roots as the original innovator bringing restaurant quality food and beverage
service to stadium suites.

Compass Group Canada is Canada’s leading foodservice provider, with more than 2,200
locations throughout the country. Through operational excellence, innovation and seamless
execution, the company brings outstanding experiences to guests across the country. Compass
Group Canada amplifies their offering further through strategic partnerships including a decadelong relationship with Oliver & Bonacini, to provide a premium culinary experience to guests and
