Civic Centre’s 50th Birthday

St. James Civic Centre Complex on your 50th Birthday!!! e-dr-civiccentre-aug19

The very first game to be played in this fine arena was the Deer Lodge Bantams versus St. James All Star Bantams on Saturday Jan. 22, 1966.

Come on out and celebrate 50 years and all of the memories that come along with it.

This year on January 22nd, our very own St. James Jr. Canucks will take on the Ft. Garry/Ft. Rouge Twins.

These two clubs have had a storied rivalry for many years so make sure you come to remember and watch this action packed hockey game!

The St. James Jr. Canucks Hockey Club of the Manitoba Major Junior Hockey League have been the anchor tenant at the St. James Civic Centre for 35+ years and have brought years of exciting hockey to this fine building!
