Where Chris Tanev first laced up

Victoria Village Recreation Centre and Arena is the local skating and hockey arena for Victoria Village, south of the Eglinton and Bermondsey intersection in Toronto. The City of Toronto runs the building, with sports programs for a range of age groups alongside the ice.

According to the City, the facility is open Monday to Sunday. Its meeting rooms and the gymnasium can be booked by contacting the facility, and the ice rink can be booked through the Parks, Forestry and Recreation permit office.

The arena is where Toronto Maple Leafs defenceman Chris Tanev got his start. His first hockey home was the Victoria Village House League, and he laced up his first pair of skates with Victoria Village at age five. In August 2026 a Chris Tanev meet-and-greet at Victoria Village Arena was announced, with part of the proceeds going to the Victoria Village Minor Hockey Association.
