The Logan Avenue arena named for Charlie Gardiner

Charlie Gardiner Arena on Logan Avenue was known as Pioneer Arena until 2018, when the City of Winnipeg announced on August 16 that it would be renamed for the Winnipeg goalie who led the Chicago Black Hawks to the 1934 Stanley Cup and died in St. Boniface Hospital two months later. The vote to rename it was unanimous.

Supporters had pushed for the honour. "It had been done for Terry Sawchuk, Billy Mosienko and Jonathan Toews, and they're all deserving, but we thought something should be done for Charlie," said Edna Poulter. An artist's rendering of the new signage was unveiled that day, and corrected signage went up outside the building in mid-November.

The arena has an NHL-size 85-by-200-foot ice surface, four change rooms and capacity for 561. The city offers free public skating here through the fall, along with skating lessons.
