Stadium Reviews


The Works Field House - Memorial Sea~Hawks
Taking in a Memorial Sea~Hawks game while in St. John’s is a great way to add to a Newfoundland vacation. The Sea~Hawks provide a solid product on the court and are among the most affordable tickets in the country. It may not be the first idea a fan gets when heading to the east coast, but it should definitely be considered.

Canada Games Park - Brock Badgers
Taking in a Brock Badgers hockey game will give the fans the opportunity to catch a consistently competitive hockey team play in a bright, clean and comfortable setting. It is worth checking out Niagara Region and Brock University for a bit of Brockey Night in Canada.

S. G. Nesbitt Memorial Arena - Haliburton County Huskies
Although it may be the smallest centre in the OJHL, the Haliburton County Huskies are putting together a big time experience. S.G. Nesbitt Memorial Arena is one of the cleanest, brightest facilities in the league and fans will have a wonderful time at a Huskies game.

Gee-Gees Field - Ottawa Gee-Gees
Taking in an Ottawa Gee-Gees football game is a great way to spend a fall afternoon and Gee-Gees Field, although not fancy, does offer a uniquely “Ottawa” experience. The location right on the Rideau River is very unique and the Parliament Building can even be seen from a few spots. It is definitely worth the trip.

Knight-Newbrough Field at University Stadium - Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks
Knight-Newbrough Field @ University Stadium continues to be a work in progress. Significant improvements have been made to the facility. It looks like Laurier Golden Hawk fans will be rewarded with a great facility after enduring the growing pains of a number of years of construction. It remains to be seen just how good the final product will be when the dust is cleared and the Seagram Project is finally complete.

Bell Aliant Centre - UPEI Panthers
Hockey is probably not the first thing you think of when it comes to PEI, but the UPEI Panthers can be part of a good visit to the island.

Les Prince Field at Ron Joyce Stadium - McMaster Marauders
