THE CENTENNIAL ARENA

390-1st Street NW

The Centennial Arena contains two full size ice surfaces, which makes this complex an ideal venue for tournaments and practices. Both ice surfaces measure 200’ x 85’. The capacity of the East Ice Shed is 1 200, and the West Ice Shed holds 300 people. There are four dressing rooms on either side, complete with shower and washroom facilities. A common lobby area that contains a ticket booth, first aid room, skate sharpening facilities, and a canteen facility joins the two ice surfaces. The Centennial Arena is also home to the Portage and District Junior “A” Terriers, members of the Manitoba Junior Hockey League. Our arena offers summer non-ice rentals.
