O'Leary Arena

The O'Leary Arena was an indoor arena located in O'Leary, Prince Edward Island.  The arena was built in 1933. The arena had some cozy confines as there was no barrier above the boards and fans would often get hit with sticks and pucks. Fans were close enough to get into the action as one player was actually hit with a frying pan held by a spectator.http://vre2.upei.ca/cap/node/189
The arena would see its' share of problems as the arena was nearly destroyed by a fire in 1940 and was finally destroyed by a sleet storm in 1956 when the roof collapsed.  The arena would not be replaced until 1960 when the O'Leary Community Sports Centre opened on the same site.
