CALGARY - Alberta's premier has reiterated the province will not contribute direct cash to help build a new downtown arena for the NHL's Edmonton Oilers.
The Oilers cleared a major hurdle toward getting a new arena by working out a framework deal with the City of Edmonton.
It would see an 18,500-seat arena built in the downtown, but hinges on either the Alberta or federal governments coming up with $100 million for the $450 million project.
