SaskTel Centre (formerly Credit Union Centre, and originally Saskatchewan Place; informally also known as Sask Place) is an arena located in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. The facility opened in February 1988 and is currently the home venue of the Saskatoon Blades of the Western Hockey League, the Saskatchewan Rattlers of the Canadian Elite Basketball League, and the Saskatchewan Rush of the National Lacrosse League, with the arena being referred to as Co-op Field at SaskTel Centre during Rush games.

SaskPlace was constructed as a replacement for Saskatoon Arena, a concrete building constructed in Saskatoon's downtown core in the 1930s. The building was in use until 1988, hosting its final hockey game only a week before SaskPlace opened. Nicknamed "The Barn", the facility had outlived its usefulness some 20 years earlier and had become infamous for leaky roofs and substandard amenities. Yet the city was hesitant to lose the landmark, and a number of years passed between the 1970s proposal to replace the structure and the eventual demolition of the Arena and the opening of SaskPlace in the late 1980s.

In 1982, the city approved a proposal to build a new 5,000 seat arena at the city's Exhibition grounds south of the downtown core. However, by 1983 local sports promoter Bill Hunter was attempting to purchase the St. Louis Blues of the National Hockey League with a plan to relocate the team to Saskatoon; part of this plan included building an 18,000-seat arena. Two locations for this much larger arena were suggested: the site of a decommissioned power plant downtown, just west of Saskatoon Arena, and a site north of the city's airport in the North Industrial area. Despite Hunter's best efforts, the NHL ultimately rejected his offer and plans to relocate an NHL team collapsed. Even so, the city had shifted planning to building a larger arena, and debate continued about the preferred location. City Council narrowly approved the north industrial proposal in a 6–5 vote in 1985. While mayor Cliff Wright and alderman and future mayor Henry Dayday championed the location, some of council, including alderman Pat Lorje, advocated for a new downtown arena instead, wary of the long-term effects that losing the arena would have on the city's downtown. In addition, concern was expressed about the accessibility of the location north of the city. Public reaction to the council vote was mixed, and a petition with more than 16,000 signatures demanding a public vote resulted in a public plebiscite being held in conjunction with the 1985 civic election. In that plebiscite, Saskatoon residents rejected the downtown option, with 64% voting against it. A second plebiscite was held in 1986 to approve the north industrial location, which passed with 70% in favour. Construction thus proceeded on the north industrial location, and an 8,000-seat Saskatchewan Place was completed in 1988, expanded to 11,000 in 1990.

Despite the votes that led to the arena, the location remained polarizing in ensuing decades, especially as many hoped-for benefits of the north location, including an influx of new services and a relocation of the city's exhibition grounds adjacent to the site, failed to materialize. Moreover, the hoped-for NHL franchise never arrived either; Hunter tried again in the early 1990s, applying for an expansion team, but ultimately fell just short of securing adequate funding. However, the arena did host the NHL's first neutral-site game on October 13, 1992, a game between the Calgary Flames and Minnesota North Stars.

In the early 2000s, Saunders Avenue, a street leading into the parking lot of the arena, was renamed Bill Hunter Avenue in honour of Hunter, who died in 2002. This was considered ironic by many Saskatonians, given Hunter lobbied for the facility to be built in another location near the old Saskatoon Arena. The city then transferred the 'Saunders' name to a new street in the River Landing redevelopment area—running through the former site of the Saskatoon Arena.

In 2008–09, the arena, then called the Credit Union Centre, was renovated for the 2010 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships. There were 2,981 seats added to the arena, increasing the capacity to more than 15,000. The cost of the expansion was pegged at $6.7 million. $2 million was requested as a loan from the city of Saskatoon and $3 million from a provincial grant. Hockey Canada may have also contributed about $500,000.

At this time, there was a proposal from Ice Edge Holdings to purchase the Phoenix Coyotes and begin playing five of the Coyotes' home games each season at Credit Union Centre, beginning in December 2009. The logic behind the move, which parallels the Bills Toronto Series in the NFL, was that although Saskatoon was likely too small to support an NHL team of its own, it would easily be able to sell out the Credit Union Centre for one game each month. However, by May 2011, Ice Edge Holdings had abandoned its plan to purchase the team.

In August 2014, SaskTel acquired the naming rights to the arena, renaming it SaskTel Centre.
