City of Burlington twin-rink arena
Mainway Ice Centre is a City of Burlington twin-rink arena at the corner of Walkers Line and Mainway, one of seven indoor arenas the city runs. The building is also listed as Mainway Recreation Centre, and the two sheets go by Rink 1 and Rink 2 in city and club documents, with club sites also calling them Arena 1 and Mainway B.
Two Burlington hockey organizations name the building among their venues. BLOMHA lists Arena 1, and the Burlington Girls Hockey Club's Barracudas development stream plays on Rink 2. The ARL occasionally plays Friday-night games on Mainway B, though such games are rare.
The City of Burlington's 2026 proposed budget lists a Rink 1 project covering the ice pad concrete, under-slab piping, spectator netting and dasher boards. A new fire alarm panel for the arena is in the same budget.
