The city of Sault Ste Marie has a long history of hockey, skating, curling and most importantly a love for sports. The need for areas in this area has been around for decades and I don't think that need will die off any time soon...

We are going to talk about some of the arenas in Sault Ste Maire's history: The Gouin Street Arena, the Sault Memorial Gardens and all the name changes of the newest Sault arena.
