About this arena

The WFCU Centre is a multipurpose recreation and entertainment complex in Windsor's east end, owned by the City of Windsor1. It opened on December 11, 2008, replacing the 84-year-old Windsor Arena as home of the Ontario Hockey League's Windsor Spitfires, and it hosted the 2017 Memorial Cup2. The main spectator bowl seats about 6,500 people and includes premium club seating, private suites and a restaurant with a view of the ice. Beyond hockey, the venue welcomes concerts, touring shows and trade events. The community side is just as busy: NHL-size rinks for minor hockey, figure skating and public skating, a sports gym, a leisure gym, a reception hall and meeting rooms, all available to rent1. One rink was temporarily turned into a pool for the 2016 FINA World Swimming Championships3. The centre also partners with Life After Fifty, which runs seniors' programs on site, and free parking is available for about 1,850 vehicles.
