Stadium Reviews

The Brantford Titans play in a facility that is quite unique in that it is not new, yet feels big, bright and modern.  The Wayne Gretzky Sports Centre is one of the best facilities in the GOJHL.  There is plenty for fans to explore at the Gretzky Centre and taking in a Titans game is a great way to spend an afternoon or evening.

The opportunity to see the North York Rangers play at the Herb Carnegie Centennial Centre is one that fans should not pass on lightly.  The venue is a love letter to the hockey legend that was Herb Carnegie and there is plenty to explore when there.  The Rangers offer a good product on the ice and fans will definitely have a good time.

Taking in an Aurora Tigers game allows hockey fans to step back in time and enjoy an old-time hockey facility that has been maintained well.  The Tigers are a good experience and the Aurora Community Centre has plenty to explore.  Welcome to the jungle!

Taking in a Niagara Falls Canucks game offers fans the opportunity to take in some solid Junior Hockey at a modern, comfortable facility in the Gale Centre, in one of the top tourist destinations in Canada.  It is well worth the trip to Niagara and Canuck country.

The majority of renovations at Rogers Centre are now complete as is the transition from stadium to ballpark.  The Toronto Blue Jays experience remains strong, but the price has increased to go along with it.  The improvements to Rogers Centre are definitely worth checking out.

Peterborough is definitely one of the lacrosse hot beds in Ontario and when taking in lacrosse during the summer months, the Jr Lakers are a must stop on the tour.  Playing in a Major Junior Hockey venue, the Peterborough Memorial Centre, the Jr Lakers offer an experience that is far different than many of the other teams in the OJLL.  Fans should definitely take in the (Junior) Lake Show.

In the OJHL there are few experiences that can top that of the Trenton Golden Hawks.  The Duncan McDonald Memorial Community Gardens provides a great experience in an old-school hockey barn that does offer some modern amenities.  The location is picturesque and the RCAF motif makes it a real community team.

Heading to Varsity Arena is a trip back in time to an old school arena where hockey remains the focus. 

The former Maple Leaf Gardens is not what it once was, but it's been brilliantly restored to a fully functional facility for USports hockey.

When in Ottawa, taking in a Carleton Ravens hockey game is a great way to enjoy an evening of hockey for a low price

If attending an Ottawa hockey game, fans will be able to answer the question “What the heck is a Gee-Gee?”

Hopefully, the second life for lacrosse in Ottawa will have a longer lifespan than the previous Ottawa franchise.

Penetanguishene may be a summer town, but checking out the Penetang Kings in the winter is a good experience. 

The Fort Erie Leisureplex offers a great atmosphere for Junior B hockey and taking in a Meteors game will give fans a great experience.

The Bill Gies Recreation Centre is a new, modern, clean facility which is home to a Junior hockey team that has the support of the community

The St. Marys Lincolns are amongst the best supported teams in the GOJHL and the Rock Rink is a unique throwback venue to the 1970s.

There's something to be said for experiencing hockey in an old-school hockey barn like Hagersville Memorial Arena while it is still possible

Glanbrook Arena is a good facility and fans will definitely enjoy their experience at the game.

The Toronto Patriots offer a strong product on the ice in a facility that is a little different than most other OJHL venues.

Even though Brampton is only 7 km from their former home in Mississauga to the CAA Centre, the Steelheads are definitely swimming upstream!
