In yet another example of our partnerships working out for the better, we are thrilled to showcase one of our latest projects.. It was here that we worked alongside our partners at Centaur Products to help design and install a custom-designed grandstand for St. Anne’s School. 

This private Catholic elementary school located in Aurora, Ontario, currently serves students from Junior Kindergarten through Grade 8. Founded with a commitment to faith-based education, the school emphasizes holistic development, fostering academic excellence, spiritual growth, and character formation in a nurturing, inclusive environment.

We're thrilled to celebrate yet another standout collaboration with our long-time dealer and partner, Sparks @ Play, based in Owings Mills, Maryland. In 2024, we joined forces to deliver a custom outdoor bleacher installation at Tucker Field—a vibrant community hub in Bel Air, Maryland. Together, we planned, designed and installed a pair of new custom bleachers for this budding community and the end result serves as a testament to the strength of our cross-border relationships.

Sport Systems is proud to be a go-to resource for Architects across Canada for both indoor and outdoor seating projects as well as custom netting barriers across the country.

From the time we make contact, architects across all industries are pleased to learn about our expertise for code compliance across Canada, particularly when it comes to indoor and outdoor bleachers.  As a manufacturer, we have the ability to customize our designs to fit the site restrictions, offer the best possible sight lines and to stay within budget. 

With hockey season officially in full swing, we recently completed a significant project at a beloved community rink in the heart of Canada’s capital. Given the volume of hockey games being played each and every year across the country, our team is always busy leading up to hockey season helping rinks ensure their spectator netting is in the best shape possible.

One of our more recent hockey-focused projects brought us to Tom Brown Arena, a community ice rink nestled in the vibrant Hintonburg neighborhood, just west of the city's downtown core. Opened in 1967 as part of Ottawa's network of recreational facilities, the arena has served as a vital gathering spot for decades, hosting ice hockey leagues, public skating sessions, figure skating programs, and community events in a facility that also includes a single NHL-sized ice pad.

We take a lot of pride in delivering top-quality products and installations across Canada (and around the world!). But the real magic happens thanks to our exceptional network of Dealers and installers, who bring local expertise and dedication to every project.

A shining example of this is our decade-long partnership with Interior Visions, based in Dieppe, New Brunswick. For nearly 10 years, we’ve worked hand-in-hand with their talented team to bring our innovative solutions to life in the Canadian Maritimes with each project seemingly getting better than the last. Much like all of our dealer network, this collaboration ensures our customers benefit from local expertise, with "boots on the ground" for precise site visits, accurate measurements, and seamless installations.

While most companies and industries today seem to be moving away from phone conversations, here at Sport Systems, we continue to embrace them. While it is something that we consider to be a vital part of our customer experience, it’s also in light of the fact that many of the products we sell are unique and nuanced in design. 

One such product category that requires a conversation just about every time we sell them is our bleacher and seating department. With unique capacity and design needs, we pride ourselves on customizing solutions fit to each individual project where required. In addition to mapping out seating requirements, a challenge many buyers are now facing is navigating seemingly complex national or regional safety and building codes.

Here at  Sport Systems, we pride ourselves on our expertise in installing high-quality netting barriers for municipalities, ball fields, soccer fields, golf courses and various other facilities across Canada. While we’re known for our top-notch new installations, we’re equally skilled at upgrading, repairing, and replacing existing netting systems to ensure safety and longevity.

Outdoor netting barriers are critical for protecting passersby, nearby vehicles, and surrounding areas from stray balls. However, these barriers face constant exposure to harsh elements like wind, UV rays, and flying debris, which can inevitably degrade them over time. Eventually, every netting system reaches the end of its lifespan, leaving facility managers with a choice: patch it up year after year or invest in a professional replacement for a lasting solution.

Serving as something of another feather in our cap, we’re proud to announce our recent collaboration with VCL, a trusted local contractor, to supply and install high-quality padding for the state-of-the-art pickleball courts at Altea Fitness Club in Ottawa. Located conveniently on Carling Avenue in the Nation’s Capital, this 129,000-square-foot flagship facility which was previously a Canadian Tire store, has transformed into Canada’s largest premium fitness and wellness club. 

Across Canada, communities are recognizing the challenges of maintaining outdated wooden bleachers in their parks. These outdated structures are often cumbersome, costly to upkeep, and most importantly, fail to meet current safety and building codes. For municipalities looking to modernize, we proudly offer a reliable, high-quality solution that is made right here in Canada.

Doing something of a clean sweep this year, the Township of South Frontenac decided it was time for a complete overhaul of the seating at a number of their outdoor recreational facilities. As part of the sweep, the township’s facilities team and Public Works Department made the forward-thinking decision to replace all aging wooden bleachers. And to make a good decision even better, they went ahead and chose our stellar line of “Gold Model” bleachers to replace them with.
