Home of the Estevan Bruins since 2011

Affinity Place opened on April 15, 2011, with a grand-opening concert by Tom Cochrane and Kim Mitchell, after construction started in May 2009 to replace Estevan's ageing Civic Auditorium. Residents and businesses in Estevan and the area raised $8 million of its cost. It opened as Spectra Place and took the name Affinity Place in 2013, and the City of Estevan's Leisure Services Division owns and runs it.

The arena is home to the Estevan Bruins of the SJHL, who played their first home game here against the Melville Millionaires on September 17, 2011, and to the midget AAA Estevan Bears. The lower bowl seats 2,200, with room for 1,400 more on the floor for concerts, a 60-person lounge, two press boxes and 24 private suites. A four-sided video scoreboard hangs over the ice, and the glass sits almost flush with the boards, with no lip on the dashers.

A 216-metre walking and running track circles the concourse. The building hosted the 2016 Western Canada Cup and the 2022 Centennial Cup, and in 2023 it became the first venue to host the SaskTel Tankard and the Saskatchewan Scotties in the same year.
