Gateway Casinos, the new owner/operator of the gaming and entertainment facility located on the St. Clair River in Point Edward, took the wraps off its MATCH restaurant on Thursday in an event that featured “signature” drinks named after two well-known pro hockey veterans.
For Dino Ciccarelli, a veteran of the Detroit Red Wings, the drink is “Hometown Red.” Wendel Clark, a former star with the Toronto Maple Leafs, has “Rugged Blue” in his corner.

Linda McColl, the new general manager of the facility, said capturing the unique character of the community is always a goal, something she said has been achieved as the $26-million redevelopment and rebrand of the facility—now to become Starlight Casino—extends to its expected completion in the fall.
“MATCH Point Edward gives a great flavour of the community and showcases its incredible natural surroundings along the river,” she said.

The restaurant seats 286.
One of the “touchpoints” of the new restaurant is an abstracted 3D wall mounted graphic that pays homage to the Grand Trunk Railway, which operated nearby.
Other images are also featured in the restaurant, including stencil art on bar column tiles that reference prohibition era smuggling activities, the date “1838,” which references the date a commercial fishery was established in the area, and a quote from hockey’s Don Cherry: “People think common sense is common—but it’s not.”
There are also numerous quotes related to Point Edward etched into table edges:
—Three cheers across the blue waters.
—Cross that bridge when you come to it.
—The starting point for all achievement is desire.
—Style is the perfection of a point of view.
—Ideas are the beginning point of all fortunes.

Three former NHLers were on hand for the grand-opening of the new Gateway Casinos restaurant in Point Edward Thursday afternoon.
Wendel Clark, Dino Ciccarelli and Sarnia Sting Head Coach Derian Hatcher helped cut the ribbon at the Match Eatery and Public House.
Gateway Casinos CEO Tony Santo says it’s their first Match Eatery in Ontario and twelfth overall.
He says the view at the Point Edward restaurant is just as good as the food.
“I mean the view is just awesome. We’re right here on the St. Clair River looking at the Blue Water Bridge. It’s just a great way to spend a night, evening or a nice afternoon like today.”
Gateway created a couple of drinks named after Clark and Ciccarelli. All the money made from those two cocktails until July 9 will go to charity.
Ciccarelli says it felt great to be back in Sarnia.
“This is my hometown, and then you got the local flavour here with the NHL being about the Maple Leafs, so why not get a guy like Wendel Clark,” says Ciccarelli. “They told us to come on out, hangout, sign some autographs, take some pictures and check out this new facility, which they’ve done a great job with.”
The family-friendly Match Eatery, that employs nearly 100 people, was part of the casino’s $26-million renovation to rebrand the Point Edward gaming house as a “Starlight Casino.”
