Gordon Lathlin Memorial Centre

The Gordon Lathlin Memorial Centre is an indoor ice hockey arena located on the Opaskwayak Cree Nation reserve near The Pas, Manitoba, Canada. The 1,100-seat arena was built in 1985, and since 1996 it has been home to the OCN Blizzard, who play in the Manitoba Junior Hockey League. During a four-month off-season for hockey each year, the centre is used for social gatherings, concerts, weddings, and "Indian Days".[1]

The arena is named after the late Gordon Lathlin, who served as the band's chief from 1967 to 1974.[2]
