Abbotsford Centre
Abbotsford Centre, formerly Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre, is a 7,000-seat multi-purpose arena in Abbotsford, British Columbia. The arena was expected to cost $64.7 million. Construction began on September 24, 2007. As of 2021, it is the home of the Abbotsford Canucks of the American Hockey League (AHL) after previously hosting AHL's Abbotsford Heat from 2009 to 2014.
On September 25, 2006, Abbotsford council voted unanimously to hold a referendum asking voters to borrow $85 million to fund three community projects, including a new entertainment and sports centre. The arena was approved by Abbotsford voters on November 25, 2006, with a 54.8% majority.
With the loss of the Heat, Abbotsford Centre announced it would start a recreational ice hockey league to help fill open dates left at the arena. Each team in the Abbotsford Centre Hockey League is to play 20 games per team during the 2014-15 hockey season.
On May 2, 2018, the Canadian Elite Basketball League announced that the Fraser Valley Bandits would be coming to the Abbotsford Centre in 2019, with the basketball season to be from May to August. The team moved to the Langley Events Centre for the 2022 season.
On May 6, 2021, the Vancouver Canucks were approved to relocate their AHL affiliate to the Abbotsford Centre for the 2021–22 season, where the team became the Abbotsford Canucks.
During 2023, the Abbotsford Centre had arena renovations, including a redesigned videoboard and new fascia ribbon board display, which in comparison to the previous equipment in place since the Abbotsford Centre opened in 2009, are slightly larger. Amenities and new arena seats were also installed within the arena's seating. The brand new videoboard debuted in the AHL for the first time when the Abbotsford Canucks played the Calgary Wranglers at the very same building in Abbotsford, on the 20th of October, losing 3-2.
The Abbotsford Centre hosted games 3, 4, and 5 of the AHL's 2025 Calder Cup Finals on June 17, 19, and 21, 2025, respectively. The Abbotsford Canucks defeated the Charlotte Checkers in games 3 and 4 by scores of 6-1 and 3-2, before losing the potential championship clinching game 5 in overtime by a score of 4-3. The Abbotsford Canucks would go on to win their first AHL championship in franchise history on June 23, 2025, defeating the Checkers 3-2 in game 6 in Charlotte.
The arena has a capacity of 7,000 seats for hockey with room for expansion to 8,500. There are 300 club seats, 15 boxes, 20 private suites, and 2 party suites.
