ONE FOR ALL FESTIVAL PRESENTED BY TD: ELTON JOHN, LADY GAGA, TINA TURNER TRIBUTE ACTS AND MUCH MORE 

The 2022 Memorial Cup was not just the biggest Memorial Cup ever, but a celebration of our community. It took over the region and the rest of the country took notice. With our Memorial Cup theme of One for All, we used our time in the spotlight to share our message of unity, diversity, equality, and inclusion for all.

The Saint John Sea Dogs, TD Bank Group (TD), along with a number of local community leaders are proud to announce the first ever One For All Festival, which will be held this Family Day Weekend, February 17-20, 2023 at TD Station.

“Sports, specifically hockey in Canada, have the power to unify,” said Sea Dogs’ President and General Manager Trevor Georgie. “And we are committed to continue our vision of making a difference and having a lasting impact. We are a small but diverse and mighty community, and, as we saw this past June, we can make a big difference. We want to continue to evolve and create positive change in the hockey world. Thank you to TD and the generous local leaders and businesses for stepping up in support of this.”

From Friday, February 17 to Monday, February 20 (Family Day), the One for All Festival will take over TD Station, with four days of events capturing the spirit of the 2022 Memorial Cup and building upon it. It will bring together and integrate arts, culture, and the entire community into the hockey experience.

“As the official bank of the Saint John Sea Dogs, we are proud to continue bringing new and exciting experiences to the fans, our customers and colleagues in Saint John during the One for All,” said Jenn Auld, Vice President Atlantic Region, TD Canada Trust. “At TD, we know sport and music have the power to help bring people together and feel a sense of belonging in their local community. We look forward to connecting with hockey and music fans alike, and celebrating the careers of artists who are making a difference in their community.”

For entertainment, three performers from Legends in Concert, the longest running show in Las Vegas history, will entertain the crowd at TD Station. Acts in tribute to Elton John, Tina Turner, and Lady Gaga, will perform on the TD Stage before the game and during both intermissions. These three performers were selected for not only their iconic music, but for the important social impact that they have made.
