JOHN'S, N.L. — St. John’s Sports and Entertainment paid $600,000 to Dean MacDonald's company, Deacon Sports and Entertainment , for improperly evicting the Newfoundland Growlers from the Mary Brown’s Centre in 2021.
“That's what ultimately we were trying to protect. There was no issue from the city with releasing the amount for Deacon Sports and Entertainment and also, we had a nondisclosure agreement with Deacon that we had to work through. That's why it's taken us to this point.”The conflict started in 2021, when DSE issued a notice of arbitration to SJSE, alleging that SJSE breached its lease by kicking the team out of the Mary Brown’s Centre and not following the proper arbitration process.
“How could we go through an investigation of a disrespectful workplace, allowing our employees feel safe and comfortable, when the very people being looked at were still in the building every day of the week? A decision was made to protect the employees and to bring this to a head in order to move forward.”
