Stadium Reviews

While this arena and the hockey game day experience will not blow you away, what makes a trip to see the Charlottetown Islanders is not the game itself, but immersing into a cultural and tour experience that embraces the community and the region.

We have a National Hockey League that is so focused on markets such as Phoenix, such as Atlanta, that are failed hockey experiments, but provide robust TV households and corporate headquarters which goose up their financial bottom line. Yet Quebec waits. In the meantime, go. Go see the Remparts. Go explore Quebec City. If you are a hockey fan, you will feel it everywhere.

The future of the Portland Trail Blazers' home, the Moda Center, is currently at a legislative crossroads as Oregon lawmakers consider a massive $600 million renovation plan to keep the team in Portland long-term.

The Victoria Royals may seem a bit isolated being located on Vancouver Island. However, Victoria is an excellent tourist destination and the Victoria Royals can definitely be a part of the excitement. The Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre provides a solid junior hockey experience and fans will definitely enjoy the experience.

Taking in a Niagara Purple Eagles basketball game offers fans an intimate local for Division I basketball on a small campus. Gallagher Center offers a solid environment and fans won’t be able to complain about the price tag.

As a destination venue, Centre 200 in and of itself is not the kind of building that will make an indelible impression. It is kind of basic, it lacks some of the glitz that has become part of some of the newer arenas in the QMJHL. But what makes this a compelling and worthwhile travel experience is the totality of the destination itself. Sydney offers a lot to see and experience, even in the winter.

Halifax in and of itself offers a superb vacation destination, albeit this region is more geared for tourism in the warmer months, and that means not so much during hockey season. Plenty of attractions, historic sites, a vibrant and bustling downtown, and this arena which strays away from the mold of the quintessential rural “community rink”. This city, and this experience, is definitely worth the trip!

The Hood Blazers are one of the newest college ice hockey programs, representing Hood College in Frederick, Maryland. The Blazers compete at the Division III level, and only have a women's hockey team, not a men's one. Since there is no ice rink on the Hood campus, the Blazers compete about three miles away at Skate Frederick, a local ice rink. There are two rinks at Skate Frederick, and the Blazers compete on Rink 2. Hood's first season was 2024-25, and was complicated b

The Eblen Center’s exterior has a subtle coliseum feel, with brick construction and large glass entrances. Inside, however, the court area feels more modern, featuring a seating bowl made entirely of padded black seats that complement the school’s purple-and-gold color scheme.

If there is anything else I’d like to say about the arena is this: even if you aren’t a huge fan of hockey, go at least once to a game at Bird Ice Arena. It is a staple of the Athens community and makes for an entertaining experience on any given night of the week.
