Medway's 1967 arena, the Nationals' home from 2002 to 2005

The rink at Medway Community Centre is the Ray Lanctin Memorial Arena. The arena was built in 1967 and renovated in 2009, with updates to the community centre, the flooring and the rink boards. It has one ice surface, spectator seating and a heated viewing area. Winter brings skating programs and events, and in summer the arena pad is used for lacrosse. There are four dressing rooms plus a gender equity dressing room, and a hall that can be divided into two rooms.

From 2002 to 2005 the arena was home to the London Nationals junior hockey team. The Nationals came to Medway after the London Gardens, their home since 1963, closed in 2001. In 2006 the team moved on to the Western Fair Sports Centre. The club traces its roots to 1950, when the London Lou Ball Juniors played out of the Ontario Arena at the Western Fairgrounds.
