Markham Centennial Centre


The Markham Centennial Centre is a 2,300-seat arena located in the Toronto suburb of Markham.
The facility was originally built in 1972 as a 1,800 seat arena and in 1999 undergone renovations 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 succeeds the Waxers at the city's OPJHL 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:
Outdoor skate park is located to the west of the community centre across from the ice rink along with two baseball fields and a soccer pitch.

Transportation

The arena is located across the street from Markville Shopping Centre and has access to GO Transit's train station on McCowan Road.
Toronto Transit Commission 129 McCowan North and GO Train & Bus provides public transit connections to MCC. Parking spaces are found on the east and west sides of the building. GO Centennial's parking structure is for GO commuters only.

Events

In 2015, the facility was to have hosted table tennis events for the 2015 Pan Am Games, but the Games relocated to the newly built Markham Pan Am Centre.
