It was built in 1939 and hosted the British Columbia Hockey League's Nanaimo Clippers, The Nanaimo Timbermen, among many other teams. The arena officially closed on September 9, 2006[1] and was torn down in November to make way for a proposed twin condominium tower complex. The new home of the Clippers is the modern Frank Crane Arena.
