The Mile One Centre, formerly known as Mile One Stadium, is the main sports and entertainment centre in the City of St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador. It opened in 2001, replacing Memorial Stadium. The arena is located at the beginning of the Trans-Canada Highway, hence the name, Mile One. The arena seats 6,250 people for hockey.
Mile One Centre was originally home to the St. John's Maple Leafs of the American Hockey League. The Leafs became the Toronto Marlies in 2005, and were replaced by the St. John's Fog Devils, an expansion team in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League.
The reason for the name change was a bid to entise more artists to have concerts at the facility. The name-change budget included a variety of advertising tactics such as radio advertisements, billboards, posters, and the name itself as seen in the photo.
The arena hosts the annual Herder Cup tournament, the largest hockey tournament in the province. It hosted the 2002 AHL All-Star Game, and the 2005 Scott Tournament of Hearts.
A National Basketball Association exhibition game between the Toronto Raptors and the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2003, was cancelled on game night due to an excess of condensation built up on the playing surface due to the inside temperature.
The stadium hosted in September 2007 to an NHL exhibition game featuring the Boston Bruins and New York Islanders.
