Hockey Heritage North

Ontario

In 1972, millions of Canadians watched two guys from Timmins, two from Sault Ste. Marie, one from Smooth Rock Falls and one from Kirkland Lake help Team Canada win against the powerful Russian Team. This year, 17,000 kids in Northern Ontario are practicing for their turn. This centre tells the story of hockey in the north and the players that fulfilled their dreams in the NHL.

Mr. Ellis designed the building to look similar to a modern day scaled down hockey arena. It houses activities such as an interactive/participatory experience called the ‘Fun Zone’, a chance to ‘virtually’ interview your hockey heroes, exhibits highlighting the local teams that feed the pro leagues, as well as other interactive and rotating exhibits.
