What it's known for
With about 15,000 seats, Canada Life Centre is the NHL’s smallest arena, which keeps every fan close to the ice. During the playoffs, fans dress in white for the ‘Winnipeg Whiteout,’ and street parties fill downtown.
The NHL returned to Winnipeg in 2011 when the Jets moved from Atlanta, and the city’s passion for the team is a big part of the atmosphere.
Getting there
The arena is downtown, connected to Winnipeg’s skywalk system so you can avoid the cold. It’s walkable from many hotels.
Tips for your visit
- U.S. visitors need a passport, and prices are in Canadian dollars.
- Winnipeg winters are extremely cold; use the skywalks.
- Wear white if you’re going to a playoff game.
