Hants Exhibition Arena

Hants Exhibition Arena

The Hants Exhibition Arena is located in Windsor, Nova Scotia, is home to the Hants County Exhibition (the oldest agricultural fair in North America), and the following hockey teams: Windsor Royals of the Nova Scotia Junior Hockey League, Avon View Avalanche, Kings-Edgehill High School and West Hants Minor Hockey. The arena was built in the early 1960s and has a seating capacity of 2300 people. The arena replaced the ancient Stannus Street Rink.

The arena has hosted numerous Nova Scotia 4-H Provincial Shows, and the 2001 Don Johnson Cup tournament. CBC's Hockey Day in Canada in 2002 was broadcast from here. The arena also plays host to showjumping, the annual pumpkin weighoff and the occasional concert.

There has been talk to build a new arena to replace the Hants Exhibition Arena in hopes to place a Junior A Hockey franchise in Windsor. This would be difficult at Hants Exhibition because they don't install ice until mid-October and take it out in early April.
