ARENA HISTORY
Opened in October of 1961, George Bell Arena replaced the outdoor Ravina Rink and was named in honour of Toronto’s Park Commissioner, George T. Bell. The arena was designed and built as a state of the art facility and once served as practice ice for both the Toronto Maple Leafs and visiting NHL teams, including having had greats such as Gordie Howe roaming the rink.
George Bell Arena is home to the George Bell Hockey Association, George Bell Women’s Hockey League, Central Hockey Academy, Stockyards Boxing, and Canadian Japanese Hockey League. We are also the former home of the Ryerson University Men’s and Women’s hockey teams.
The arena has hosted a variety of special events, including Toronto Furies games, charity tournaments, and even wrestling.
George Bell Arena proudly serves the communities of York, Swansea, Toronto Junction, High Park, and Etobicoke.
The George Bell Hockey Association (GBHA) is a not-for-profit community organization located in West Toronto. Its goal is to develop and maintain fun, safe, fair, and inclusive hockey programs for players between the ages of 4-20.
Central Hockey Academy (CHA) is a Toronto based hockey academy. They offer on-ice skill development programs, off-ice training, PA Day camps, March Break programs, Summer camps, and tournaments.
Stockyards Boxing & Fitness Centre provides a safe, clean, positive, and motivating training environment. We use Boxing as an avenue to teach our members lifelong fitness, respect, and how to be a positive contributor to society.
