The Centennial Community Centre is a 2,300-seat arena and community centre located in Markham, Ontario, north of Toronto.

Contents

The facility was originally built in 1972 as a 1,800-seat arena, and in 1999 renovations were made which expanded beyond the arena.

Arena

The arena was home to the Markham Waxers junior team in the OPJHL, and also occasionally hosted the Toronto Marlboros of the Ontario Hockey League in the mid 1970s. Beginning in 2015 the arena became home ice for the Markham Royals, which saw the Hamilton Red Wings move to become the city's new OJHL team.

The ice rink surface is NHL regulation size with seating around most of the rink.

Community Centre

The expansion in 1999 added additional facilities:

An outdoor skate park is located to the west of the community centre across from the ice rink along with two baseball fields (with concrete seating behind home plate) and a soccer pitch (with seating on one side).

Transportation

The arena is located across the street from Markville Shopping Centre and has access to GO Transit's Centennial train station on McCowan Road.
