GOUIN STREET ARENA

'Gouin Street Arena' is the predecessor to the Sault Memorial Gardens, Sault Ste. Marie's premier sports complex from 1949-2006. It was located on Gouin St. between Queen and Bay Streets near East Street. The Arena housed in-season ice surfaces for both ice hockey and curling. The building's seating was bench-style (in much the same fashion as the Memorial Gardens) and capacity was around 1000. The building was destroyed by fire in 1945.
