The NiagaraFalls Memorial Arena is an arena located in NiagaraFalls , Ontario , Canada . It was built in 1950 and has a capacity of approximately 3,000. The arena was home to various ice hockey teams in the past, including the NiagaraFalls Thunder and the NiagaraFalls Flyers . It currently serves as the home of the NiagaraFalls Cannucks, a team in the Greater Ontario Junior B Hockey League. The city has discussed building a new arena to replace it and development is well under way. The new arena will have a similar capacity in one of the four ice pads, with the other three having a modest capacity for recreational hockey and skating league purposes. The new facility will become a community center, of sorts, for ice based activities with offices for figure skating and house league hockey organizations. The NiagaraFalls Memorial Arena is scheduled to be demolished to make room for a parking lot upon completion of the new four pad arena in 2009. Updates on the project and the state of the old Memorial Areana can be found on the City of NiagaraFalls website at www.niagarafalls.ca The arena will get one last chance to relive its glory days by hosting an Ontario Hockey League game before it fades into the city s history. The Niagara IceDogs hosted the Ottawa 67 s on March 1 at the Memorial Arena, which in its heyday was home to the NiagaraFalls Flyers and NiagaraFalls Thunder hockey teams. The fundraising event helped to bring in cash to go toward construction of the Bob Gale Centre, the city s 38 million four pad arena complex to be built on Fourth Avenue, property formerly occupied by the Cyanamid plant.
