The Haileybury Arena is a 14 minute walk from the house, and the New Liskeard Arena is a 10 minute drive. Hockey families and curlers stay with us for tournaments.
Public skating at both arenas is free. The City posts the schedule as an image on its arena page, so check there for times. Hockey goes back a long way here. Haileybury had a professional team in the Timiskaming Professional Hockey League in 1908 and 1909.
