Jasper Place's arena, renamed for Bill Hunter

Bill Hunter Arena is the indoor ice arena of the sports centre that Jasper Place set out to build alongside a football bowl and an indoor swimming pool, a complex later collectively named the Johnny Bright Sports Park. The building was known as Jasper Place arena until, after Bill Hunter's death, it became the minor-hockey arena in Edmonton that bears his name. Hunter co-founded the Western Hockey League, helped to launch the World Hockey Association and worked to bring professional hockey to Edmonton and to his hometown of Saskatoon.

Today it is one of the City of Edmonton's arenas, with a 190-by-85-foot sheet, seating for 1,600 plus 200 standing, and safety netting protecting the viewing area.

Lacrosse shares the building with hockey. The St. Albert Saints played out their last games in this building, never drawing a crowd smaller than double the capacity of their Akinsdale arena. The Rocky Mountain Lacrosse League's Edmonton Warriors and Edmonton Miners have both listed Bill Hunter Arena as their home, and in 2005 the last game of the provincials was played here, the Warriors' home arena, because the Sherwood Park Titans' rink was unavailable.
