Information AboutStampede Corral |
|
At the time of construction, it was the largest arena west of Toronto . It was officially opened on December 15, 1950. The first hockey game was held at the Corral on December 26, with the Calgary Stampeders beating the Edmonton Flyers in a Western Canada Senior Hockey League game. The Corral houses one of the most extensive private sports photo collections in Canada; being on public display, however, many of the photos (of Western Canadian hockey and rodeo stars primarily, dating back many decades) are in a state of considerable disrepair. The Corral is still used year round; notable events include the Rodeo Royal , held every April, and the Superdogs which appear daily during the Calgary Exhibition And Stampede . EXTERNAL LINKS |
