City council in Lethbridge has given the OK to spending $1.2 million on a new video score clock. It should be in place when the renovations are completed in the Enmax Centre for next season. The vote, by the way, was 8-0 in favour of the new gizmo. . . . The cost of the clock is over and above the $33.7-million budget for renovations. . . . Having a new first-rate video scoreboard won’t hurt the Hurricanes’ chances of landing the 2013 Memorial Cup. . . . The Lethbridge Herald reports: “The $1.2-million price tag includes $525,000 for the scoreboard itself, $516,000 for video production facilities and about $175,000 for installation, design and consultation costs.”
