Named for the region's only NHL player

A committee formed in 1968 to promote a sports and recreation centre in Lac-Etchemin. It located a large Royal Canadian Air Force hangar at Camp Debert, near Halifax, and acquired it in July 1968.

Residents voted on the project in a referendum on November 29, 1970, and could help fund it by buying lots of its concrete blocks. Construction finally took place in early 1972, by then scaled back to a covered rink only. On September 5, 1972, the building was named for Simon Nolet, from Saint-Odilon-de-Cranbourne, the only hockey player from the region to reach the NHL.

The arena seats 600, and several hockey teams and the figure skating club skate here regularly. The ice is in from mid-September to the end of March.
