Canlan Ice Sports – York

Canlan Ice Sports – York is the main ice rink at York University in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The facility is operated by Canlan Ice Sports Corporation. The seating capacity is 1,200. It is the home of the York Lions men's and women's varsity hockey teams.[1] The facility opened in 1996 as the Beatrice Ice Gardens, and has one Olympic sized and five NHL-sized ice rinks.[2] The arena has been used for National Hockey League training camps, and was purchased by Canlan Ice Sports in August 2007.

The current complex replaced the York University Ice Palace, built in 1968.[3] The building lacked seating for spectators, and has since been converted into the Sherman Health Science Research Centre.[4][5]
