EDMONTON -- The on-again-off-again deal to build a new rink for the Edmonton Oilers is on -- again. City councillors and the Edmonton Oilers agreed Wednesday to split the cost of the final $30 million needed to green light the wavy-shaped steel-and-glass structure in the citys downtown in time for the 2016-17 NHL season. "This has been a long and difficult process," Mayor Stephen Mandel told councillors. "We need to make sure that we build a city that attracts and retains the younger generation." Construction is to start next spring and the city plans to pay off some of its debt through increased tax revenues from shops and businesses expected to spring up around the arena. The total cost, including the rink and surrounding infrastructure, comes in at $604.5 million. Under the arrangement, the Oilers are to pay $161.5 million, the city $279 million and another $125 million is to come from a ticket tax. Last week, Mandel and political leaders from surrounding regions voted to seek another $25 million from the province under a regional grant program. The city says it will seek an additional $14 million in grants for a community rink attached to the project. "The result today is a landmark agreement that enables our city to move forward in an enormously positive way," said Edmonton Oilers owner Daryl Katz, who was not at Wednesdays council meeting, but spoke with reporters via speaker phone. The decision saves a resurrected deal agreed to by council and Katz in January, but which had slipped into limbo after Premier Alison Redfords government refused to provide $100 million. Redford and her predecessor Ed Stelmach never promised any direct funding, but city council struck the deal in January anyway, hoping the money would come through somehow. When it didnt, councillors scrambled to find alternative sources for the cash. Last month, they voted to use $45 million in provincial infrastructure grant money. On Wednesday they changed that plan. They now expect that money to accrue from increased tax revenues around the arena. Political leaders from the capital region narrowly voted last week to back an application for the $25-million provincial grant. That left $30 million. Half of the remainder is to come from Katz and the city expects the other half to be recouped from increased tax revenues arising from the development. The deal has divided Edmontonians into those who want public dollars to go to the arena, those who dont and those who are OK with public money, but say the deal is far too lopsided in Katzs favour. Last week, Mandel got into an argument with hecklers in council chambers, who demanded he put the arena on a plebiscite. The city is to build and own the arena and pay for all major repairs and renovations. The Oilers, in turn, are to pay $6 million a year in lease payments and pay for day-to-day arena upkeep. Katz is to keep all the profits from tickets, concessions and parking for all events -- Oilers-related or otherwise. Katz also is to receive $2 million a year from the city in return for advertising for 10 years and to keep naming rights for the building, estimated at $1 million to $3 million a year. In return, Katz has promised the Oilers will stay in Edmonton for 35 years. The vote was not unanimous. Coun. Kerry Diotte said the deal was poor for taxpayers when it was first struck in 2011 and is worse now. "This has morphed into a Frankenstein monster. Even the worst referee in the NHL could see this is way offside," Diotte told councillors. Coun. Tony Caterina agreed. He said no one knows for sure if the extra tax revenues from the arena will materialize. The risk tolerance for taxpayers, he said, is "way too high." Councils decision wrote what many hope will be the final chapter in what has become the citys longest-running soap opera. The deal has been talked about for seven years and been on a roller coaster for the last two. Councillors and Katz first shook hands in the fall of 2011, but the deal fell apart a year later when Katz demanded an extra $210 million from taxpayers and refused to meet with councillors in public to explain why. He also incurred wrath from fans and councillors when he began talks aimed at moving the team to Seattle. Katz eventually dropped the Seattle threat and the $210-million demand, and in January the two sides resurrected the deal, with Katz off the hook for major repairs to the facility. Katz -- a pharmacy billionaire who owns the Rexall chain of drugstores -- is currently tenant of Rexall Place, where the Oilers now play. Its an arena owned by an arms-length city board. Katz says the Oilers need wider revenue streams to be viable. He has said he is losing millions of dollars a year, but city council has not been allowed to see the teams books. The Oilers are ranked in the middle or higher among revenue-producing teams in the NHL. Wholesale Air Max Plus Ireland .

LOS ANGELES -- For 54 dull and rainy minutes, the Los Angeles Rams defense appeared to be carrying Jared Goff to a victory in his NFL debut.With two dramatic drives, Ryan Tannehill and the Miami Dolphins washed it all away.DeVante Parker caught a 9-yard touchdown pass with 36 seconds to play, and the surging Dolphins rallied for two late scores to spoil Goffs big day with a 14-10 victory Sunday.Tannehill passed for 172 yards in the fifth straight victory for the Dolphins (6-4), who were dominated by the Rams defense until their final chances for redemption. Miami left the Coliseum crowd in disbelief and barely kept alive its longest winning streak since 2008.I dont even know (how the comeback happened), Dolphins coach Adam Gase said. Just nothing was going right for us. We were terrible on offense.After Jarvis Landry caught a 10-yard TD pass with 4:02 to play, the Dolphins got the ball right back and drove downfield for Parkers diving TD reception in the corner. Miami gained 152 of its 240 total yards on the final two drives, leaving the Los Angeles defense heartbroken and furious.We played pretty much great the whole day, Rams defensive end Robert Quinn said. We kept fighting, but those last 6 minutes, I think its going to haunt us.Todd Gurley scored on a 24-yard run in the first quarter for Los Angeles (4-6), but neither team managed much offense until Miamis late surge.GOFFS TURNUntil the late swerve, the game was a decent coming-out party for the NFLs No. 1 draft pick.Goff went 17 of 31 for 134 yards after finally getting his chance in the 10th game of the season. But the Rams did little between Miamis two touchdowns, and when Los Angeles got the ball back at its 41 with 29 seconds left, Goff moved the team only 12 yards before throwing an incompletion in the end zone as time expired.Felt good, Goff said. Were obviously disappointed with the result there at the end and how things turned out, and how we felt through the whole game and how in control we were. At the end, 6 minutes left, we just kind of couldnt put it away.Nearly seven months after the Rams traded up to draft Goff, their prized rookie finally got his first start and was introduced to raucous cheers on a rare rainy day in downtown LA, but he made few memorable plays in a conservative game plan.The rrookie got his first NFL completion on a short pass to fellow rookie Tyler Higbee, but neither team made much headway in the first three quarters.dddddddddddd Goff showed mobility in the pocket and made a handful of key third-down throws to keep the Rams moving.I was disappointed in the outcome of the game, but I think you could see the light, Los Angeles coach Jeff Fisher said. There was a light there for (Goff), so well continue to allow him to get ready, continue to progress.BEATING THEMSELVESFisher called it one of the most disappointing losses of his long career.To play 3 1/2 quarters of good football and then to let things slip away in the last 6 minutes was really disappointing, Fisher said.Los Angeles took its first double-digit lead at home this season on a 46-yard field goal by Greg Zuerlein in the third quarter. But after Zuerlein missed a 48-yard attempt off the upright with 6:40 to play, the Dolphins finally mounted a scoring drive capped when Landry caught a short pass and his teammates pushed the pile 4 yards into the end zone.Its all about will, Landry said. I couldnt get in there alone. I closed my eyes and went for the ride.AWAY FROM HOMEThe Dolphins spent the week in California after beating San Diego last weekend, but their offense was mostly awful until Tannehill got it moving in the final minutes. Parker had eight catches for 79 yards, and Jay Ajayi rushed for 77 yards.INJURY REPORTDolphins: OG Laremy Tunsil started at left tackle in place of Branden Albert, but injured his shoulder during the first half. Backup RT Sam Young moved over to the left side. Albert had surgery on a torn ligament in his wrist, but wouldnt rule out playing next week.Rams: Quinn started five days after spending the night in a hospital with an apparent case of dehydration. ... C Tim Barnes also started after weeklong concerns about his foot. ...
