The outside of St. Mike's Arena.
The St. Michael's College School Arena is a 1,600-seat hockey arena in Toronto, Ontario Canada. It was built in 1956 on the campus of St. Michael's College School in central Toronto, and originally was an outdoor rink. A half-cylinder shape wooden roof was finally built on the arena. The arena is the current home to the Toronto St. Michael's Majors of the Ontario Hockey League. The building was originally supposed to serve as a temporary home for the team following the closure of Maple Leaf Gardens in 2000, but the Majors will still be at the College Arena until the conclusion of the 2006-07 OHL season. After that season, the team will be moved to the Hershey Centre in Mississauga, Ontario. Historically, the arena also served as home to the original Majors on occasion in the 1950s and 1960s when Maple Leaf Gardens was unavailable.
