Home of the Windsor Spitfires since 2008

The WFCU Centre opened on December 11, 2008, in Windsor’s east end, replacing the 84-year-old Windsor Arena as the main home of the Windsor Spitfires. City council approved the project on October 4, 2006, ground was broken on January 22, 2007, and Windsor-based PCR Contractors built it for about $71 million. The City of Windsor owns the building, which carries the name of Windsor Family Credit Union.

Its centrepiece is the Main Bowl, a 6,500-person spectator rink, with the public rinks, a pool and a gym under the same roof. The Spitfires of the Ontario Hockey League share the building with the Windsor Express basketball team, and the Spitfires won the 2009 and 2010 OHL championship series on home ice.

The building has hosted figure skating as well as hockey: Skate Canada International and the Skate Canada Synchronized Skating Championships both came here in 2012, the year of the World U-17 Hockey Challenge, and the OHL All-Star Game and the CHL/NHL Top Prospects Game have been played here too.
