Kelowna’s Memorial Arena was built to honour local Kelowna’s Memorial Arena was built to honour local soldiers and those who lost their lives during WWII. 

The City of Kelowna began constructing the Memorial Arena in 1945. The venue opened years later on Remembrance Day, 1948, with a seating capacity of around 2,000. Since then, it has been a focal point for both athletics and entertainment. The Kelowna Packers, Buckaroos, Wings, and Rockets have all called it home. Today, Kelowna Minor Hockey and the Okanagan College Hockey League use the rink.

Only two more days until the Memorial Cup competit Only two more days until the Memorial Cup competition begins!

Did you know that the Rockets had their start in Tacoma, Washington? The franchise was started in 1991 and didn’t move to Kelowna until 1995. For their first four years in Kelowna, the Rockets’ home ice was in Kelowna’s Memorial Arena. The team made their permanent home at Prospera Place (then known as Skyreach Place) when it opened in April 1999.

The Rockets have played in the Memorial Cup six times, including in this year’s tournament. In 2004, not only did Kelowna have the honour of hosting the tournament, but the Rockets won it on home ice. GO ROCKETS GO!
