Four-rink Kingston complex completed in May 2008
The INVISTA Centre is a 179,550-square-foot complex built around four ice rinks. It was completed in May 2008. Its design pairs wood and Kingston limestone with insulated metal panels and heat mirror glass, around an open, transparent concept. It is a LEED-certified building with four NHL-sized rinks, three multipurpose rooms and a fitness centre. The main rink seats 750 and the other three seat 250 each, with an upper viewing gallery and a mini rink.
The building is home to the Original Hockey Hall of Fame, a museum of the history of ice hockey in Canada. The hall dates from September 10, 1943, and is the oldest sports hall of fame in Canada. Kingston's Captain James T. Sutherland led the bid to bring it to the city and was inducted in 1947, one of the first 42 members. It was meant to be hockey's hall of fame, but events led to the Hockey Hall of Fame being set up in Toronto instead, and it took the Original Hockey Hall of Fame name in 2013. Its collection includes an original stick from a February 1888 Queen's-RMC game, one of the first in Ontario.
