Keystone Centre
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Keystone Centre is a multi purpose facility located in Brandon, Manitoba, Canada. It has 415,000 square feet of multi-use space under one roof. The main 5,000-seat arena is currently called the Keystone Arena, although the centre's board may tender naming rights for the arena in the near future.
It is home to the Brandon Wheat Kings Ice hockey team, the Provincial Exhibition of Manitoba, and various other events and activities.
The Western Canadian Junior "B" Hockey Championship, the Keystone Cup, is named after the Keystone Centre as it was the alternate site used by the original tournament in 1983 that took place in Portage la Prairie, Manitoba.
The original structure was built in 1972, but has seen numerous expansions since that time, including the construction of a hotel that replaced a former home of the Wheat Kings, the adjacent Manex Arena.
